People have itchy palms? Itchy enough that they bite them?

That's fucking weird.

That's literally never happened to me, it sounds super strange. Are y'all putting stuff on your hands that's tearing up your skin? Do you moisturize regularly?

I have sensitive skin, but spend a lot of time in a kitchen with wet hands. Unscented soap to wash my hands about a dozen times a day, and unscented moisturizer to keep my skin from cracking. I'll use a thicker waxy moisturizer during the winter when it's really dry out.

I use my hands for weightlifting and golf, so I have to manage my callouses, and in the kitchen I'll pick up various small cuts and burns. My hands don't look perfect but they've never.. itched?

Your comment makes you seem shocked like a victorian era man seeing a woman's bare ankle in public.

I don't know why, but ok?

Itchy palms sounds more like an allergic reaction than a common issue.

That's a good example of what i mean. Allergic reactions are common issues.

It's normal to not have an itch and it's normal to itch. Both can be true simultaneously and neither is weird.

Granted it's a comment on Lemmy but at a larger scale this kind of incredulous comment can reinforce stigmas.
