It started last winter. I thought it was because my skin was dry. I put Body Shop lotion often after shower. It seemed OK just when I put on. But it didn;t cure. My legs are still ichy and I scratch and I bleed some part of my leg.

that happened to me this winter too, I went through body lotion, baby oil, neosporin, and nothing seemed to help. Right now I'm using lotrisome (a prescription) and am hoping it will help. My doctor doesn't know what it is, and I have a biopsy scheduled. Just see the doctor

its probably an allergy to a certain lotion or bodywash... a certain laundry detergent or softener that you wash with. dont scracth it !
that spreads germs and bacteria and can lead to an skin infection which is far worst than a itchy skin. you could be hospitalized for an skin infection. i just remembered when i shave my legs started to get ichy and red. it might be that if you do shave your legs.

Try baby oil in the tub and soak, then use lots of scent free lotion to moisturize. Otherwise consult a dermatoligist.

get yourself a good moisturizing cream look for the ( therapeutic) extra dry skin formula at the rite aid store i used it and it is great also i heard that netrogena works great too. oatmeal made into a paste applied to dry skin while soaking in a bathub with it on is also a great remedy for dry skin good luck 2 u!!!

I would suggest getting an anti-itch cream. Ask your local pharacist what they would suggest. If there is embarassing redness or bleeding, I would talk to a dermatolagist. You can get a referral through your family doctor.

Try Gold Bond medicated lotion. It works for me and my husband.

Try a pure Vitamin E cream. No perfumes, just straight vitamin E. You should be able to get it at any drug store. It works for me.

It could be an allergic reaction to a fabric you're wearing. Check with a dermatologist to see.
