Skin condition marked by itchiness?

For the longest time I have had a weird condition with my legs randomly being extremely itchy. After a few seconds of scratching I would have a rash of tiny red dots (not bumps) that sometimes would later turn into a bruise. I always blame it on having dry skin so I usually use bodywash and body lotions after showering in hopes of helping it. I don't know what this could be from but it is really irritating. Any help is appreciated, but try to be more helpful than just telling me to visit a dermatologist. Thanks in advance.

It sounds more like you have extremely dry skin. The marks after itching is bruising from the scratching. You need to read the labels on your body wash and lotions. Need ones that have less than 8 ingredients. It does limit what you can have, but they are better for your skin. Aveeno makes a good line of products. After showering, pat dry your skin and rub lotion into the skin while it is still damp. Also take fish oil capsules on a daily basis, they do improve your skin. My daughter has had skin conditions her whole life, and these steps have helped her more than any other
Reply:exczema%26lt;%26lt;%26lt; I think thats how its spelled, there's otc medicine and creams for it, or just use good ol cocoa butter!
Reply:Eczema sounds like what you are describing. It is very annoying and can affect all parts of your body. Its pretty common is babies but many adults have eczema as well.
Reply:If this happens right after you shave it is possible that you have razor burn. It could also be that you are allergic to the product (shaving cream or soap) that you are using on your legs. Try switching brands of shaving cream, or perhaps shaving with baby oil and see if this helps. Good luck!
Reply:Try Skineze to and take the itch away baidecnaturals make it would hurt to try i would say it sounds like anything as i wouldn't know but just try a variety of creams just google a few words on itch and see what stuff comes up or stop itch or just continue with your dry skin moisterisers or have an oatmeal bath once a week
