8. Genital Area
Itching in the genital area can be a warning sign of urinary tract or reproductive system tumors. Persistent discomfort, especially if not caused by infection, should prompt a medical check-up.
9. Around the Eyes
Itching or swelling around the eyes may indicate thyroid tumors or other endocrine-related malignancies.
When to See a Doctor
Seek medical attention if:
Itching persists for weeks without an obvious cause
It is accompanied by lumps, swelling, or pain
Skin changes such as redness, bruising, or rashes occur
Other systemic symptoms like weight loss, fever, or fatigue appear
Bottom Line
While most cases of itching are harmless, persistent or unexplained itching in these nine areas can sometimes be an early warning sign of malignant tumors. Early detection is critical for effective treatment, so never ignore chronic or unusual itching—especially in the legs, which are the most common area affected.
