Better Health
BY Dr. Logan CIendening

THE skin of middle-aged and
l. elderly people is particularly
likely TO itching and 10 irritation.
The skin tends 10 become very
thin and 10 lose the glands which
supply it with moisture and
grease as time goes on, and il
will not stand as much exposure,
cleansing and soaping as in
younger days.
Besides this there are a num-
ber Of conditions causing itching
which occur more often in
middle-aged people than in the
young.
One OF these is diabetes and
another is liver trouble-even if
il does not go 10 the point of
jaundice, which always causes
itching.
In diabetes itching may occur
without any perceptible eruption
or change in the surface of the
skin at all.
ITCHING is a complex sensa-
l. ton composed of a blending
OF touch and pain and can be
perceived only when both the
touch and pain tracts in the
central nervous system are func-
tioning.
Perception of itching depends
on an attention factor and a
threshold susceptibility.
In long-standing itching the
threshold is lowered and fatigue
affects the attention so that as
time goes on, with any skin sem
Sation the condition tends 10 be-
come worse simply from repeti-
ton Of the sensory impulses.
IN THE diagnosis of skin dis
Il ease in elderly people, how
ever. the physician should not
jump TO the conclusion that IL is
simply "o1d peoples skin" but
he should consider everything
which might cause itching:
eczema. parasites such as the
louise, the itch mite and CHG
gers. allergic phenomena and all
other local skin diseases which
produce itching.
If these are eliminated, and IL
diabetes and jaundice are elimi-
mated, IL comes down more or
less 10 the diagnosis of senile
