Help me! Extremely itchy skin!?

Question

Ok so my legs have been extremely itchy for quite some time now. Actually, about 3 years. They are extremely itchy and I don't know what to do about it. I shave with Skintimate. I lotion my legs everyday with St. Ives body lotion. It gets really itchy to the point where my skin breaks!! I don't know why this is happening...and the fact the it's only my legs is really wierd....is there anything else I can do?

Please help me.

Answer 1

did you ever get hives? it think you have an alergic reaction. stop using the skintimate and stop using the St.Ives body lotion for a few days,  and ses what happens if you dont use it, but if it continues go see a doctor. and tell him about it.  

Answer 2

I had this same problem and I would itch my legs to the point that they would bleed and I would do it in my sleep.  I have changed my shaving habits.  FOr one I can suggest using a loofah on your legs before you shave and using Aveeno shave gel.   A second option is to get an electric razor or use an epilator.  I use an epilator and I do not itch any longer.  IT hurts at first, but its soo worth it. This is the one that I use:

It sounds like a fungal infection.

See a dermatologist.

In the mean time, look for anti-fungal cream.
