We have tried every moisturiser, bath treatment, creams, cortisones, antihistamines, vitamins to no avail. Anyone know how to fix. by the way unlike dry skin conditions, hers improves in winter.

Couple oddball ideas that might relate. 1. Have you been tested for celiac disease? this is a gut disease where gluten triggers certain reactions, but one of them can be itchy skin/rashes. And it tends to be in the same place, frequently the arms or legs. The test is a blood test, so might be worth testing, anyway. 2. Was there ever any rash with this, like welt-like bumps, by any chance? If yes, you may wish to get checked for Valley Fever, especially if you live in the southwest USA, have stopped there recently, or had contact with someone who has. Valley fever is a disease that is contracted by breathing in certain fungal spores that are just floating in the air in certain areas of the world, and one reaction can be a rash just on the shins and calves. The disease can remain active for months to years. If you did not ever have a rash, however, this would not be an issue at all.

i have suffered with some kind of weird skin allergy which also gets very bad when wet. i went to every specialist in the country, and even tried alternative medicine for a while. the only thing which helped for a time was reflexology :). i have recently started iron supplements, which the dermatologist suggested. i have heard that people with low iron tend to have itchy skin - it might be worth checking her iron levels. short of that, i have nothing to offer aside from sympathy....

Sounds like she has eczema. Not sure what modern medicine does to treat it, but my dad cured a particularly bad case a few years ago. I can't say how he did it, but I can say that it wasn't pleasant and involved about two months without bathing (during the curing process).

You should go to an allergy specialist. She may be allergic to some grass or other plant that grows in the warmer months. Does she roll around in the grass with bare legs? It may just be from playing out in the grass.

She may be allergic to detergent....I am, and every time I wash my clothes in something other than Ivory Snow I break out.
And the reason it improves in winter (as mine does) is because you don't sweat as much in winter, and sweat mixes with the detergent residue and makes it worse.

Have you tried an oatmeal bath. That might work but I say you should see a doctor.

It sound like she has a nerve problem, might need a neurological doctor.
