Primary lymphoma of the brain care physician for a thorough physical check-up to rule out any medical causes for his itching. A medical cause, such as a reaction to new soap, is a more likely cause of the itching, rather than a psychological one.
But in response to your question as to whether stress can cause itching, the answer is yes. This is an example of a psychosomatic symptom. Other examples may include headache and nausea to name just a few. (This is applicable only when a physical cause for these have been ruled out.) These symptoms occur when psychological conflicts that a person is experiencing manifest itself physically.
A new job can be stressful, and some people may manifest their concerns by having physical symptoms. You should ask him to share his thoughts about his new work with you; sometimes this relieves the tension a person experiences and the symptoms start to improve. Good luck.
