itchy legs during shower

i went thru a lot of posts here, n i can c dat a LOT of ppl get an itch after shower/swimming. well i too get extra itchy after a shower, but my legs itch otherwise also, for no rhyme or reason. although i havent tried any of the creams n lotions, i have been using herbal soaps for like my entire life, but this problem started just a month back. being a dietitian, i have already tried an elimination diet to check for food allergy, but NOPE. this thing isnt an allergy.

I'm on my third pregnancy - 9 weeks - and my legs have been incredibly itchy, starting a week before I found out I was pregnant. Is this at all related to being pregnant? I never had this with my other two but I can't stop the itching - especially at night!

t getting the soap off my legs. Between more vigilant in the shower about rinsing my legs and using Keri lotion, the problem went away.

I read a comment for curing bilateral itchy legs a while back and it has totally worked for me and I want to share it! My legs started itching bilaterally all of a sudden and would really itch more after a shower and at night time when I was in bed. It was driving me crazy! I had no rashes or bumps but the scratching was leaving my legs bruised. Then I read a comment on this website and all I had to do was exfoliate my legs in the shower a couple of times a week! That's it!

I have had itchy legs for YEARS, not all over, just my legs. I've tried changing soaps, detergent, lotion, everything. I have been to several doctors and no one knows what it is. I have heard that it could be a gluten allergy? so i have to try that. The itching is the most annoying thing ever...i often cause myself to bleed because of it. Let me know if you find out anything.

Im glad Im not the only one with "itchy" legs. I have had "itchy" legs for years. I have been told it was all in my head. And have tired almost everything for dry itchy skin. Its mostly my lower legs, the front and side. Sometimes its my upper leg. When they itch, it feels like they are itchy from the bones. I end up itching them so much that I tear my legs open, and usually get a faint scar. They seem dry usually, but are as smooth and soft as my hands are.

Are there any bumps or rashes?

I used ice packs in the beginning, and then I started a cold water rinse on my lower legs with a hand held shower after my normal shower. After drying I applied the Sarna Creme. The itching has stopped. I'm not sure if is the cold water or the Sarna Cream, or a combination of the two. I use the cold water rinse after every shower now because I don't want to risk having the itcy legs return.

My legs have been itchy every day since i was born. im 21 and i have always had itchy legs. when i was younger my family would all scream at me as once i started i couldnt seem to stop. the itching gets so bad that it annoys you and fustrates you and it becomes painfull. My dad used to smack my legs where it was itching and it used to help but it didnt last too long only for about 5-10 mins and i would be scratching again.

Some pregnant women develops excema which makes you super itchy. I use a body lotion on myself after every shower, try a Shea butter based lotion. I use a body butter lotion myself and it helps with the itching a lot.

My chest and stomach and legs are always so itchy. I try so hard not to scratch but it's hard!

Why everytime I take a shower my legs itch uncontrollably? I've tried just about everything, but nothing seems to work. The first time it happened, I had been outside in very cold temperatures for about 15 minutes.

8 weeks pregnant and miserable still. Im so itchy all over especially my legs, I have bumps all over my body and scaps from scratching so hard. I cant sleep at night because of it, I have to take bendyrl. Still doesnt work. Still very sick also goes days without eatting, everything makes me wanna puke.

all my body feels so itchy... Took a shower and I still feel the itch everywhere... WTH is this?? Im 22 weeks by the way..

I have yet to take the drug but I am going to let you know if it also helps with the itchy legs. I really dont think the itchy legs are caused by histamines. I think the problem is Eosinophil mediated. It makes sense that inhibiting leukotriene's might solve both problems. Stay tuned I will give an update soon This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/241193'>Itchy legs, no sign of rash or irritation</a>.

And I noticed here lately that my legs always get itchy, and tingly at night. I can sleep on my couch for a nap during the day, and im fine. But when bedtime comes it drives me crazy. If they don't itch or feel tingly I get this weird sensation making me constantly move my legs. I tried putting a pillow between my legs, but it makes it worse. Is anyone else going through this? If so what do you do for relief?

t itchy but now when i get out of the shower they are itchy. Someone mentioned that it may be a heat allergy.. but I haven't seen a doctor for this yet. Any ideas what this may be? attached is a photo of the red spots around my knee. those scars are from ACL reconstruction and a lateral release.

Hey, my name's Olivia and I'm only 13 years of age. After every shower I have I will always come out with itchy legs. It's really annoying and doesn't stop until about half an hour later. Before I never used to have this problem or it only would occur every now and then but it's just been getting worse. Now every single shower I take no matter what, I will have itchy legs. I'm young, I don't know what to do.

What I started doing was taking lukewarm showers instead of hot, using Eucerin calming shower oil and then immediately after the shower lathering on tons and tons of Eucerin calming cream and letting it soak in for 5 minutes before rubbing it in. If you can, wait to put on clothes for a half hour or so until all the cream soaks in (I found that the cream acts as a barrier to the clothes, otherwise as my pants touch my legs the itching starts all over).

ve been taking Aveeno Powder Baths and I bought Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion with Colloidal Oatmeal. My legs have gonen better since still itchy but not as itchy. My stomach is still the same there is no hope for my stomach. My stomach has all these red dots all over. It was sooooooooo itchy last night omg I felt like crying. I also cut my nail super short to help prevent me from scratching. My stomach is still very itchy but it was itchier a lot more last night.

Please help me!! I am suffering very badly from itchy legs.. I have NO RASH!! It usually triggered from when i take a shower, and when i get out its like the sky caves in..my legs itch soooo bad! I have to put bags of frozen foods all over them to numb them so i don't scratch the heck out of them! However, it has been gettgin worse, they have been itching more and more and without needing a shower to trigger it.. Sometimes its when i lay down to go to bed, or when i wake up in the morning.

During the warm summer months I develop an itch on my legs and arms every year. There is no rash or any sign of irritation and is mostly on my lower legs and arms but sometimes can be on the upper. There is no itching on any other part of my body. The itching feels almost like pins and needles. It seems to get irritated after I shower or swim or my body temperature increases with exercise but mostly water is the common cause of it starting.
