Avatar n tn The cold water/ icepack remedy and Sarna anti-itch lotion I suggested in an earlier post to relieve itchy legs, only proved to be a temporary solution. The itching came back after a few days. My doctor perscribed Fluocinonide Cream USP, 0.05%, and after a few days the itching stopped, and has not returned. I have no idea what caused it in the first place, but it is gone, thankfully.
Avatar n tn 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.

Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn ME TOO!! I have dry skin, and nearly always have on my legs during the winter (I'm from the north so it's bitter cold here now), but I have never experience itching like I have these past few weeks! I keep a cool lotion next to my bed and put it on my legs if I can't sleep from the itching.
Avatar m tn and more specifically, the lower limbs, below the calf muscle, on the back of the legs.. 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.
Avatar n tn I allow them to dry on their own or dry them out with the hair drier in the winter if it is too cold to walk around the house until they are fully dry before putting the jeans on. Is not a solution, but helps.
Avatar f tn He said that it may not be my skin, but instead my nerves sending signals to make me think my legs are itchy from the arthritis. I was looking for a 2nd opinion. I never would have linked the 2. Thanks for the help!
Avatar n tn Does anybody else get itchy legs after shaving? What do you do to relieve the itchiness?
Avatar f tn The whole night I was itching my legs. The next day I had chills/fever/sweats and the muscle aches. I went home and kept itching my legs trying to rest my body. Finally I examine my legs and a blotchy red itchy rash has appears. Looks like an allergic reaction rash and I saw my doctor and he came me a creme and oral medication to ease the symptoms. I woke this morning to a bigger rash that has spread to my arms hands feet underarms and a little on my back.
Avatar n tn m a 55 year old bloke from London, UK, got the itchy lower legs this year, It gets very itchy in a hot bath, I can scratch like mad, but try to avoid doing so, I have asthma and take steroids (prednisolone), and thought this was causing it, but I see from the discussions all types of healthy people get it - it seems to be brought on or relieved by heat - which brings the blood to the surface - might be a dietary symptom, like too much sugar - I shall have to experiment and get back, doctors tend
Avatar f tn ) I have gotten up in the middle of the night and poured cold water over my legs, slept with frozen towels on my legs even sat and rubbed ice cubes on them. Nothing works and I am at my wits end, I have cried ond cried with the itching and burning. Sometimes I wish I could cut my legs off! Please help!
Avatar m tn I remember having the same discomforting feeling sometime before (without any hitting of the ball) in which I used to feel my testicles heavy the way I can feel my right testicle heavy right now. That discomfort when the testicles used to hang down goes away after masturbation. After a day, I don't feel any pain now. I feel as if my right testicle is hanging a bit higher and I feel discomfort(not pain anymore, anywhere).
Avatar f tn Sunday evening I went to the beach and walked in the water (up to my waist), when I got out my legs were severely itchy but I just ignored it. By the time I got to the car, there were a few hives on my legs. About 5 minutes later, my legs were full of hives, and my knees were severely swollen (I couldn't bend them). I took benadryl and went to bed. In the morning they were all gone. My question is : What could have caused this? .. I didn't eat anything new that day.
Avatar f tn My three prolific episodes have all in the summer, but I do can have the weak-knees problem any time of the year. It is almost constant in the warmer months, though.
Avatar m tn Once I leave my room and air hits my body I start getting this itching tingly burning feeling that is so horrible I just start itching or doing my best to rub my legs. I do not know if it is from the cold weather here in England I am study abroad student who is studying here for the semester or if it is from when I shaved a few weeks ago. I now have these little red marks on my legs and thighs.

9246787 tn?1404943147 Any one else get itchy on the legs it's driving me crazy and I ask doctors but they have no explanation my daughter's ob told me it was cuz I'm Mexican wtf really but they have started and I'm scared I'll go to the hospital with scars again like I did with my first pregnancy nothing seems to work to calm it down
Avatar m tn hello everyone what I've found is certain food and drinks trigger the itching! for me i'ts bud light beer and milk chocolate. sugars of different types (any) will trigger the itch when removing jeans if you didn't pay attention to the amount of sugar consumed in a days time. I can have Peanut m&ms and Hershey almond candy bar but not plain m&ms or milk chocolate, I can have Budweiser but not bud light.
Avatar n tn All my life I can recall going to bed, and often having extremely itchy legs; especially around the sides of my knees. When I was younger I would wake up in the middle of the night with such a strong urge to itch that I would sometime use a blade from a pair of scissors to relieve the itching, which often made my legs bleed. Even now, sometimes during the day if I'm out my legs can get so itchy I have to find a bathroom to itch my legs as the feeling is so insatiable.
Avatar f tn I noticed the same ice cold feeling in my lower legs and feet about a year ago, i felt very ill and it coincided with a urinery infection, i had backache and the doctor prescribed co-aximol antibiotics, while i was on the tablets the cold feeling went away, however, the problem keeps returning and i have been on antibiotics for nearly a year now and the doctor said i am just unlucky, i have just finished my 10th lot of antibiotics and just under a week later the cold legs and feeling of intense
Avatar n tn Hello Jojo: Welcome to the Pain Forum. There are many reasons for your cold legs and one of the most common is a disease called Raynaud's Syndrome. When your body is exposed to cold temperatures, your extremities lose heat. Your body slows down blood supply to your fingers and toes to preserve your body's core temperature. Your body specifically reduces blood flow by narrowing the small arteries under the skin of your extremities.
Avatar f tn I am 28 years old and I have started walking to lose some weight but every time that I go walking for more than 15 minutes or jogging for more than 5 I get this feeling in my legs that feels like I have a thousand bugs crawling up and down my legs. They start feeling really itchy. It is fairly uncomfortable and I was just wondering if you knew what this was or if there is something that I can do to stop this feeling. Should I see my doctor? Thank you.
Avatar n tn t have any allergies that I am aware of. the itching seems to happen after a shower and at night/in the morning ( I think because of temperature changes in my skin?). I don't know if I just have hypersensitive skin or what? it is odd that it would just come on out of the blue. It started last fall during the last trimester of my pregnancy. I considered that I may be allergic to the chlorine in my water? I may try to pick up a water filter. Does anyone know if these work?
Avatar n tn 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.
