What is exactly an itchy sensation?

1. An electrical signal from the nervous system telling you there are bacteria here invading your pores.

2. The same that "1" but meaning those bacteria are eating subcutaneous layer.

3. An electrical signal caused by bacteria causing gas.

4. An electrical signal meaning that bacteria are clogging your pores with their wastes that impede your skin from breathing.

5. Tickling or electric stimulation simply caused by bacteria.

6. Extra tickling sensation or electric alert from the nervous system caused by extreme clogging of pores caused by pus and or fat.

Update:

7. All of the previous.

    8. None of the above. Itching sensations can occur in the total absence of bacterial invasion/infection.
