Common Questions and Answers about Itchy rash shins
itchy
I've been having this rash on my shins, really itchy, on each shin same location. I've had the itchiness for about 6 months now. Recently, the rash got worse until it looks like the skin broke. Now they're kind of crusty. I went to my doctor and she said it looks like shingles, but I've always heard shingles is painful. I don't have any pain, just itchy. I've read on the internet (so it must be true) that shingles lasts 4 to 6 weeks.
I am having a recurring rash that manifests itself on my shins, spreads from ankle to below knees, used to come and go but is now staying for long periods of time. The condition first appeared abut 5 years ago, it would start as a red itchy area about the size of a silver dollar then expand over several days to a long patch up my shins with raised welts that would last for weeks.
I've had an extremely itchy rash on my shins for a couple years. They are small red welts and the itching can be unbearable. No cortisone creams or antihistamines have worked. I had bed bugs a couple years ago and I think the rash started then, but I definitely don't have them anymore and the rash is still bad. It gets worse after hot showers or exposure to bugs (mosquito bites, etc.).
Every spring for the past three years, a skin rash has appeared on my shins, starting with my left leg, eventually moving to my right leg and minimally on my forearms. The rash consists of small red bumps that look similar to acne, it is extremely itchy, then is blisters and pops (whether I itch it or not) leaving a scab. It does not spread to any other areas of my body, my spouse and children don't catch it from me and it is not in my underarms or genitalia.
Has anyone experienced itchy shins? This has been going on for over 6 months, and I'm beginning to notice some scars on both legs from scratching. Also, does this have anything to do with how well my liver is functioning?
I mostly have just the itchy dry skin. Early in tx I got the red bumps on my shins, furious itching and flaking skin. I'm allergic to benadryl so I used oatmeal baths and lots of lotion. The rash on my shins went away in a few weeks, the dry skin goes on and on.
Since August 2011 when I repotted a houseplant, I broke out on my hands a blistery ( bloody) rash, it then spread to my arms, later that day to my feet and shins, severely itchy and I assumed it was Scabies. I went to my Dr. uncertain to him, but we tried the medication anyway, it didn't work, I tried many other medications, I have seen an Allergy Dr., Dermatology Specialists, 5 doctors and many tests later, they cannot figure it out.
Hiya Stella, after having my 2nd baby 3yrs ago I got a very itchy rash down below I was treated for thrush it didnt work. It drove me mad at night . then is started on toes and ankles so they gave me treatment for scabies which didnt work either.
There for they told me it was Eczema so I got steroid cream which helped a lit and some moisturiser.... I did have a lil trouble sleeping but I thought it was due to breast feeding and getting up every couple of hours.
I'm 35 female. I've had pruritis off and on for several years. My shins become exremely aggrivated by heat. I've also been treated for chronic rhinitis and sinitis for 7 years. About 4 years ago I had an upper endoscopy and was diagnosed with esphogitis and gastritis. Also taking Bentyl for IBS. In that same year I started experiencing pain in my chest which a Holter monitor showed tachycardia. Approx 4 months ago I got a rash on my cheek and one on the lower left side of my belly.
The next day, the bumps had spread up and down my legs, both sides, more concentrated on my shins than thighs. The bumps were now a mixture of itchy red pimples and small swellings, slightly lighter in color. Yesterday the bumps had spread to my forearms. Today they are on my neck, upper chest, behind my ears, and along my cheek bone and nose, as well as everywhere else already mentioned (but not on my back, stomach, or hips/butt).
I read that dabbing itchy legs with neat Dettol once a day cures the problem. And so it has for me. It makes sense. Bacteria breeds in patches on warm damp skin, and makes it itch. Scratching carries the infection - as do tights, socks, the contents of jars of unguents kept in warm bathrooms. Maintain scrupulous hygeine - boil your tights or replace! - and both the rash and the itch disappears. .
Do you have any house plants as I recently was made aware I am allergic to mine, I didnt realise how toxic some cactus are, since I removed them and do not touch any my rash which was chronic has subsided I still get some itchy skin but it is a lot better than beforewhe I would touch the plants some are very toxic to humans . .
This type of dermatitis is aggravated or triggered by contact with any known allergens. It may present with a well demarcated red rash which may be weepy and itchy. There may be vesicles or bumps with clear fluid inside. It may be itchy and the itch scratch cycle may develop excoriations and involve normal skin.
There is no single definite medical treatment for dermatitis .Corticosteroids and antihistamines may help alleviate the symptoms.
I started getting them on my shins and one of my wrists. It responds somewhat to steroid creams but always comes back. Odd thing is that in the summer, I usually have very minimal problems with these rashes. It's usually around this time they get really bad. What about yours?
For the past 3 months or so, I have been suffering from EXTREMELY itchy small red bump that eventually blister, sometimes with yellowish puss that crusts and spreads. I have seen a dermatologist 3 times now and all he does is prescribe me antihistamines and hydrocortisone (steroid) cream. I have no problem taking these things if they helped but unfortunately they do not.
They look like they are scarred in the summer, and seem pretty smooth, but when the winter is here, they are terrible and itchy. They look like a rash, but are itchy. I am going to follow up with a dermatologist, too, especially, since I am getting more of these each year. At times, they don't look that bad, but wearing capris, you can definitely see them. They are only on the calves. Thanks.
It is concentrated on my upper, inner thighs, chest, stomach, back, backs of legs, and upper inner arms and lower inner arms. There is no rash on my face, hands, feet, shins, genital area or neck. Through research, I cannot find another skin condition that does not itch but Pityriasis Rosea. Any ideas? Attached is a photo of my upper inner thigh.
s disease but it is in remission. I have had really itchy legs for about 2 years. Not sure if this is started when I was pregnant 2 yrs ago or if just is happening as I get older. My legs itch all the time and are worse after I shave. I have tried vrious creams, natural shave creams, not shaving and nothing helps. Heavy creams just make my legs break out. I believe it is something internal, possibly related to crohn's (an immune system response) or a deficiency in vitamins or minerals.
