Itchy Skin?

Help, my skin especially my legs get really itchy. It happens mostly after I take a shower or when the temperature changes eg inside warm outside cold. I have been to a couple of dermatologist which I had blood work done but they can't find anything wrong with me. Also I don't have a rash or any other symtoms that you can see. I have tried different lotion, detergent etc that I can think of. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Itchy Skin?
Sounds like dry skin. When you get out of the shower, get your skin damp and then use olive oil. You don't need much, pour a little in your hand carefully and try using it on one body part such as your arm or a leg and see if that helps. If it does, then you can use that every day after you shower. Some of the Europeans and other ancient cultures such as the Egyptians have used olive oil on their skin for centuries. Taking oatmeal baths helps with the itching, just pour 1 cup or so of uncooked oats in your bathtub water.
Reply:USE LOTION!!!!!!!!!!

Reply:That happens to my legs too. I use Eucerin Calming Cream. It's in the aisle with the lotions. I bought it at Target for $7-8. I put it on after I take a shower and anytime they itch. It works really well. My legs don't get all ashy anymore.
Reply:Sounds like dry skin. Obviously lotions are good to use. Also, try to take showers that are not too hot. A good lotion to use is available by prescription. It is ammonium lactate. Works great.
Reply:Try Aveeno with cooling menthol. It really helps to stop the itch. Good luck!
Reply:it might be egima but since its getting cold outside it might just be dry skin

Reply:1) after you wash your clothing and bedding, wash a secon time without soap..notice how much soap is left in the clothing after the firat was..if there are suds you are using too much soap...wash them in a fron loader with a window so you can watch.





2) always wash your body in an antibacterial liquid soap before the hair and conditioner and rinse well.





3) use Jergans Ultr Healing Extra Dry skin moisturizer at bedtime do not cover legs or feet or arms at bedtime only..use an extra blanket if you are cold.





Good luck. Let me know if that helped..give it 7 days.
Reply:Drink at least six to eight glasses of bottled water - distilled or mineral - per day.
