itchy

Avatar n tn Once the hair begins to grow back, my legs become very uncomfortable and extremely itchy. Lotions usually do nothing to soothe my skin. I am losing sleep at night because I wake up to either my legs itching or my hands itching. When it's unbearable, I take an anti-histamine to help get through it. If I do not shave, my legs do not itch nearly as bad.
Avatar n tn I visited with him this morning and his girlfriend was with him. Neither on seems to understand. I told them about this site, but they are not good with the computer. He just turned 55 and he seems quite confussed. I want to help him, but i don't know what to do if they don't get the right information. I told them to write the test results down so I can see them. He is going into the hospital tomorrow to have the fluids drained since the pills are not working.

882555 tn?1240592644 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.
Avatar n tn Hello. Whenever I attempt to walk quickly, my legs begin to itch uncontrollably, and then turns in to intense pain. It begins in my feet, moves up my ankles and then to my chins, then thighs and butt. It happens before I start sweating, but after my heart rate goes up a little bit. This happens in the city when I am walking to work or to the bus stop - it also happens in the gym on the tread mill. So I avoid walking as much as I can.
Avatar f tn My legs get really itchy after shaving and at night while sleeping I start scratching them sometimes even without realizing it. And now I have scratches and marks everywhere on my legs, they don't seem to disappear. This is really embarrassing. Any ideas of what should I do? I've tried some balms and home made remedies but they don't seem to work!!
Avatar m tn Hello, a few years ago I had a microscopic parasite that made my legs itchy so when it happened again I went to my Doctor but he told me there were no holes so it was probably an allergic reaction, he gave me a cream that helped a little but didn't stop it. I searched the net and someone said it might be due to something in bread so I stopped eating bread, then I stopped cakes and even schnitzel and crumbed fish, this did help but I still had it sometimes.

Avatar f tn Hi, i'm 20 years old. My temp. is normal. First, i have this burning sensation in my neck for about 5 days, sometimes at the same time on my head, back, arms and legs and ears. But the worst is that at night, i can't sleep because of the burning feeling. When i lie down on my back, the burning's on my back, legs, and back of my head, if lie down on my side, my side's burning.
Avatar n tn An abnormal MRI does not necessarily mean you have MS. There are many causes and the list is long that could do so. Basically, it is my understanding that there's about four major causes (could be more): such as: infection (such as viral or bacterial), metabolic (such as B12 deficiency), demyelinating process (such as MS but are other processes) and vascular (such as hypertension). There are many MS mimicks that can give you the sensations and/or symptoms you're experiencing.
Avatar m tn 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>.
Avatar m tn For about a month or so I would get VERY itchy legs, especially my lower legs, after showers. Worse yet I would wake up in the middle of the night scratching like mad! I found this site and tried Hydrocortizone cream as suggested in a comment here. It worked at first, but still I woke up itching like crazy. I tried different itch relief lotions that contain oatmeal but they were of no avail.
Avatar n tn 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!
Avatar m tn 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.
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!

1415174 tn?1453243103 Thought it was some sort of bites since at around the same time I started a vegetable garden and spent a lot of time in my yard. Itchy red rashes on the bottom of my legs, swelling around the rash and ankles. I used tea tree oil to sooth the itching. About 5-6 days later most of the rash was gone. Yesterday I got the same exact rash again in the same spots. This time it was worse. Swelling on my right leg is much more noticeable than the left.
