is alzheimer's causes itching
Sometimes itâs an obsessive/compulsive behavior thatâs almost impossible to stop. Other times, though, there is another cause. Among the many tips Iâve seen for trying to help the patient: First, evaluate the Alzheimerâs patient thoroughly to see whether something may be causing itching. â Perhaps the patient has developed an allergy to the bath soap s/he uses. Try different soaps, or perhaps substitute shampoo, instead of soap, to cleanse the skin.
