"The more you scratch, the more itch nerve receptors you'll have in that area. The release of nerve growth factors from damaged nerves makes the skin more sensitive to itch and more itchy for less reason. If scratched enough, itch trigger substances can become embedded in the nerves, causing persistent burning and itching."
