Deep Skin Itches - Normal or a Condition?

Okay so my boyfriend told me he doesn't get this so now I'm curious because I thought it was normal. Does anyone else get these deep itches? Like they almost feel like they're under your skin and you can't get to it unless you, like, peel your skin off? I've had these ever since I was a kid and within the past few years I figured out it's because I likely have an itch somewhere else on a nerve that I can't feel. Does anyone else get this or is it just me? And is this normal or could it be related to a condition?

I get these and was told it’s likely just a nerve misfiring! They can be so itchy that it becomes painful

I feel it sometimes and I’ll just push hard on the area. Often my skin is just dry, but I’m hyper sensitive to lotion so it can be hard to rehydrate.

I haven't personally got it , but with sock when the top of the hem is to tight and the end of the day I'll take off the sock and itch for a good hour but I've learn not to dig itch because then it just last longer. Or I have a problem with my toes my two small ones at the end ,one of my watches played with them and now one will lay or sit on top of if I wear to tight of shoes , and if the shoes are to tight I can't get them unstuck and it bothers my brain so so bad that I have to take of my shoes to fix it , and if I wear toe socks it helps but if too small or wrong material it'll hurt like cutting into. Sorry so long hope help or gives you a laugh
