Skin becoming sensitive to scratch

2020-05-25 14:24:23
Hi, I have noticed from last few months that whenever I scratch my skin anywhere, the scratched portion turns red within a few seconds. Even if the scratch pressure is low it still happens. Why is this happening? I had dengue in 2015 and right now I have Silent Stomach Reflux. Also my tonsils have been dark red from two months now. Please help.
