What kind were you taking?
Other causes include skin conditions like dermatitis, and hives, internal diseases like liver and kidney disorders, diabetes, iron deficiency anemia, irritation and allergic reactions to chemicals, wool, soaps, cosmetics and certain food. Since you are having lethargy also, so anemia and liver disease need to be investigated thoroughly.
Oral antihistamine, such as Benadryl can be used for itching. You should take a comfortably cool bath and wear smooth-textured cotton clothing.
My allergist told me to try Claritin tabs instead of gel caps but I took one after having my allergy shot and I broke out in hives again. Now all the pollen is out and my eyes are really itchy and red and I have a hard time seeing at work. I tried taking Atarax last night to see if that would help more than Benadryl. Big mistake since I woke up broke out in bad hives. I had to wait to get home to take benadryl since I am not 100% certain that Benadryl does not give me hives.
Hello,
Skin conditions like psoriasis,dermatitis, internal diseases like liver and kidney disorders,diabetes, iron deficiency anemia, irritation and allergic reactions to chemicals,wool,soaps,cosmetics and certain foods can cause itchy legs.
You can apply an anti-itch cream or lotion to the affected area. Oral antihistamine, such as Benadryl can also be used. You should take a comfortably cool bath and wear smooth-textured cotton clothing.
After the itch and dryness goes, you have to continue applying for at least another 2 weeks for the infection to be completely cured from the lower most layer of the skin. Wash your hands well and dry them properly both before and after the application. Meanwhile test for blood sugar level to see if it is high for diabetes too can prevent resolution of fungal infection. Take any anti-allergic tablet or antihistamine to overcome itching.
My face and lips experienced some burning sensation and I felt weak and heavy in my calf muscles. My doctor put me on antihistamine and the facial burning sensation reduced. However I started to experience burning sensation in my head - scalp. Sometimes it felt like acid thrown on it and sometime it felt like a my hair had been pulled too long and the area in the head was sore. Blood work showed low B12 (247) and Vitamin D (8).

But it is also possible that if we have been taking an opiate for a long time, that RLS is being masked during our drug use and it is revealed as a symptom of something else (diabetes, etc.)., discovered once we stop our drug. If RLS continues after the first few weeks of withdrawal, I'd see a doctor.

Suggest getting blood tests to look for causes of itching and in the meanwhile use lots of moisturisers and a sedating antihistamine like hydroxyzine.

Apply calamine lotion at the site of the lesions and see if it helps. You could take some oral antihistamine medications like cetrizine or loratadine. You need to maintain a good personal hygiene .

On the other hand, systemic diseases that can cause itching include liver disease, thyroid disease, diabetes, and cancer. Some types of medications may also cause itching. I recommend that you have this evaluated further by your doctor for proper management. A complete medical history and physical examination are important to reach a diagnosis. Ttreatment will depend on the underlying cause. Over-the-counter antihistamine may also help. Try to avoid scratching to prevent secondary infection.
Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is an antihistamine and is used to treat sneezing, runny nose, itching and other allergies. So, as mentioned above it dries out the secretions and hence is not recommended in lung disorders.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
