The occasional scratch is nothing to worry about but persistent, excessive scratching could indicate a problem. The most common of which is a mite infection, although hamsters can also have allergies to things in their environment such as bedding or air freshener sprays.

Can a hot shower give relief from itching?

It is not good to take a hot shower after an insect bite. The heat releases the histamines and makes the area itchy.

My 8-week old, who is a rescue, has terrible dandruff and itching. Any ideas on what we can use? (He's vaccinated but not as much as he will be over the next couple of weeks.)

I would get the vet to check the puppy for cheyletiella, (a mite with the nickname "walking dandruff".) This mite looks like dandruff and causes extreme itchiness.

I have red spots on my hands that seem to get worse when I touch my feet, which have the same spots. The doctor says it's eczema, and cream seems to help my hands until I touch my feet to apply the cream there. No pain or itching. What should I do?

If you have eczema, use eucerin cream to counterbalance the dry skin. If you have an infection, ask your doctor about mupirocin.
