Common Questions and Answers about Itchy legs pregnancy

itchy

Avatar f tn 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!
8526246 tn?1405601876 I have no idea if it's pregnancy related, but my legs itch every time I shave too... It's so itchy that I scratch until I break my skin :( (whithout noticing of course). This has never happened to me before until know (I have 11 weeks) and my pores get infected. Very weird!
6947444 tn?1403849867 Rashes are common in pregnancy. As long as its not itchy/oozing, not purple, and is blanching (meaning if you press on it it goes away for a second) you should be fine.
Avatar f tn I've been very itchy. I don't know if it's from the cold weather or from pregnancy. Usually during winter my legs itch, but nothing else really. Now, it's my legs stomach, and breasts. It gets worst at night and when I wake up I find scatch marks on me not realizing I'm scatching myself. I do put lotion on and it really does that work that well. Is anyone else experiencing this??
4516107 tn?1356304067 I'm super itchy on the back of my legs. I have no rash and my skin isint dry. What else could it be?! Its driving me crazy!!
2062192 tn?1333714423 yes tell your doctor as there is a very rare illness called intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy it affects the liver, but it could also be cus estrogen is high during pregnancy and causes the itching and usually disappears after birth, so yes make sure u mention it...i get really itchy legs i itch them til they are red raw...
Avatar f tn My chest and stomach and legs are always so itchy. I try so hard not to scratch but it's hard!
Avatar f tn My legs were swollen few weeks back... I do a lot of walking... Swelling is not present anymore... But there is lot of itching in my palm and sole... What problems might b there with my kidney and liver??? What measures I have to take???
Avatar f tn I experience that as well but it happened before the pregnancy as well. I think carper triggers the itch.
Avatar f tn With my last baby, my legs swelled so much, I could barely walk, my legs were itchy and when you pressed on them it would leave an indent. I later found out that I had preclampsia (sp) This was around 8 months. I would get it checked. Better to be safe.
Avatar f tn Is there any help out there for itchy legs? I have been reading about other people suffering with symptoms like mine. It doesn't sound very encouraging. I have been suffering for several years now. I've tried different lotions but nothing seems to help. Mine seems to be worse during the winter when I have to wear long pants. There is no rash to be seen but I have to scratch sometimes making my legs bleed. It keeps me awake at night.
11970398 tn?1443134602 Im 10 wks and me legs have been so itchy! Ik its not dry skin bc i put lotion on every night. Anyone else?
Avatar f tn hey... umm.. i'm 18 now and have been getting severely itchy legs for about 3-4 years... when I went to the doctor they told me it was hormonal and it would be gone within a few months... they also said to use lots of moisturiser on my legs.... I'm always self conscious about my legs... since the itching started because of the marks the scratches leave... I had my mum stressing about me thinking that I was cutting myself on my legs...
Avatar n tn 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.
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 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.
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 He has been coming home for the past month with itchy legs and itchy arms. He lays next to me and I begin to itch like crazy too. What can we do to stop this I have tried cortezon and that doesnt help. Iam tired of this problem can someone help us?
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 n tn How come my legs are always so itchy? I always scratch them and rip the skin on accident. Mainly only the front of my legs are itchy. My arms don't itch though.
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.
