You want to know why your stomach itches you. Itching is an uncomfortable sensation as if you want to scratch a part on your skin. Itching can be caused by: infections, allergies, jaundice and liver disorders, dry skin, etc.

According to data where you described itching, it doesn’t seem likely that you have any medical condition. You may see a dermatologist to rule out allergies and infection on your skin. You may consider changing your washing powder or type of fabric of clothes that you wear.

I am not able to diagnose online. Please contact your doctor or other qualified healthcare provider such as a dermatologist for further diagnosis and treatment options.
