Hi Doctor, for about 6- 9 months I have had internal itching in the lower right side of my abdomen. It does not hurt but I need to scratch it. There is no external rash. At times the itch is more intense than other times it seems. Do I need to worry about this?
Hi. Thanks for your query. Itching in the right lower side of the abdomen alone is a rare problem, in fact never heard of till now. The most probable cause of such an occurrence can be :-Dermatitis of the local skin.-Compression of the sensory nerve supplying this area in its course from the spinal cord to the sensory area in the lower right abdomen.  Once the proper diagnosis has been made, the further treatment can be planned accordingly.
