Dream - Itching can affect anyone, both children and adults. This disease can be caused by various factors. Such as insect bites, food allergies, exposure to bacteria, and so on. In such conditions, people usually immediately look for medicine if the itching sensation does not subside. Even in severe conditions, they will seek medical attention. In addition to making efforts, Dream friends should also not forget that it is Allah SWT who has the right to heal someone.

There are several hadiths and advice from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) that teach Muslims to maintain cleanliness of the body, including the skin. Some principles in Islam related to skin health involve cleanliness, protecting oneself from diseases, and seeking treatment when they arise. That is why Islam teaches about taharah (purification). Islam emphasizes the importance of maintaining cleanliness of the body.

Rasulullah saw gave clear guidance on cleanliness, including maintaining the cleanliness of the skin and other body parts. Maintaining cleanliness can prevent various skin health problems. Not only skin diseases, every disease is a test from Allah SWT. Muslims are taught to be patient and seek Allah's help in facing illness. Healing is an encouraged action, and Muslims are given the freedom to seek lawful treatment.

Apart from striving, what is equally important is to pray. Islam encourages its followers to pray and engage in remembrance as an effort for healing. Praying to Allah SWT is a way to seek help and healing.

In the hadith narrated by Abu 'Abdillah, the Prophet taught a prayer that can be used to relieve itching. The prayer is as follows: Bismillah, yurhimkallah which means: "In the name of Allah, may Allah have mercy on you." By starting with Bismillah, we initiate the healing process by mentioning the name of Allah. In addition, this prayer also seeks direct healing from Allah, who is the only true source of healing in Islamic teachings.

By saying this prayer with full faith, it is hoped that the itching will heal and the recovery will come from Allah SWT. In addition, there is also a prayer recitation when experiencing other itchy diseases, as follows: "Allahumma Rabb an-naas, adhhibil-ba'sa, ishfi anta ash-shaafi, laa shifaa'a illa shifaa'uka, shifaa'an laa yughadiru saqaman."

Meaning: "O Allah, the Lord of mankind, remove this disease, grant healing, You are the Healer, there is no healing except through You, a healing that leaves no illness behind." Thus, the prayer to overcome itching in Islamic teachings is one form of recognition that all healing comes from Allah. Starting every action by mentioning His name, we believe that true healing can only be obtained from Him.

Treatment depends on the cause of the itch. Here are some steps that can help alleviate itching:Identifying the Cause of Itching: Try to identify what might be triggering the itch. Is it contact with allergens, insect bites, or certain skin conditions?Maintain Skin Hygiene: Take a shower with warm water using a mild soap. Avoid using scented soaps or harsh chemicals, as this can irritate the skin.

Use Moisturizer: Apply moisturizer or hydrating cream to the skin after bathing to maintain moisture and prevent dry skin. Avoid Scratching: Try not to scratch the itchy area, as this can worsen irritation and prolong healing. Use short nails to reduce the risk of injuring the skin. Avoid Allergy Triggers: If the itch is caused by an allergy, avoid contact with the allergen. This may involve changing detergents, soaps, or other cleaning products that may be triggers.

Topical Medication: The use of antihistamine or corticosteroid creams prescribed by a doctor can help relieve itching and inflammation on the skin. Oral Antihistamine Consumption: If the itching is caused by an allergic reaction, the doctor may prescribe oral antihistamines to help reduce allergy symptoms, including itching. Cold Compress: Apply a cold compress to the itchy area to provide a cooling sensation and alleviate irritation. Avoid Tight and Rough Clothing: Wear loose-fitting and soft clothing to prevent friction that can worsen itching.

Consult with a Doctor: If the itching does not improve or worsens, consult with a doctor immediately. They can help determine the cause of the itching and prescribe appropriate treatment. So, while accompanied by prayers when experiencing itching, it is important to remember that each case of itching can have different causes, and effective treatment can vary. Sahabat Dream can consult with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and proper management.
