Itching, leg, skin problem, dry skin

The first rule in Dermatology...if something itches....DO NOT SCRATCH. It will only makes things worst to the point where you get excoriations and eventually infections on that area. Try putting on petroleum jelly...and follow your doctors orders...not missing anything. If a physician prescribes something you should take or do....DO IT. Do not skip on it. There are instructions so that medications will provide optimal relief. Try prescription anti-histamines...these are anti-allergy, anti-inflammatory medicines. which can help relieve the itching.

My skin does the same thing. Sometimes it will make me cry it itches so badly. I use baby lotion when it gets really bad.

i think you're applying remedy right after washing your skin. this is when the dryness already started or even this is where drying started worsening already. i believe bars like cetaphil, oilatum and others of the same kind are designed to not to soothe (which you're doing already) but prevent skin from drying right in the process where drying starts .
