Common Questions and Answers about Itchy legs when running

Avatar n tn I'm struggling with the same problem. My legs itch like crazy when I get out of the shower and a little during the day too. Creams don't help, I just have to wait it out or busy myself. Going outside for a walk helps or at least elevating my legs, but the itching takes a while to really completely go away. I don't know if it's hormones, or stress, or a vitamin deficiency, or reaction to hard water, but it has no visible signs on my skin, just the uncontrolled itchy feeling.
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 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 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 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.
8526246 tn?1405601876 I've noticed when I shave my legs they become extremely itchy after and weird enough my leg hairs don't grow as fast as they used to and I always try somehow to put cream on them as well. Is this pregnancy related? Anyone else?
Avatar f tn This has been going on for a long time. I have experience itchy legs whenever I am walking or running, it's so bad that I have to stop and itch, and I get these red marks all over my legs. Today, I was walking and had an itch so intense I nearly cried, I nearly clawed my skin off it was that bad. And it would not stop for ages, even when I stopped walking, I also noticed my hands shaking and I literally broke a nail or two itching my legs.
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 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 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 f 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 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 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 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 hey just wondering when is the best time to work out the legs (squats and lunges)? I try to lift one day and run the next.. I have been doing them on my weight days but then sometimes my legs are too sore to run on my cardio days. Should i be doing squats lunges etc before or after my run instead?
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>.
1359377 tn?1277454936 Alot of exercise that causes you to sweat down there can cause itchy heat bumps when there isnt alot of air flow. Another thing could be if u shave??? i would go to the doctor to make sure, just incase this is something else and can get taken care of.
