How to stop the itching?

[6demandingchildren]

Both legs below the knees are driving me crazy, I'm scratching them raw, I don't know what I can do as I have tried cold flannels, creams keeping clothing off them, I buy my washing powder in bulk so that hasn't changed.
It's getting ridiculous.

If it has been going on for over a week then I would see a GP, sometimes nerve damage caused by diabetes can cause lower legs to itch as well as some skin conditions such as eczema or dermatitis.

Anti histamines and calamine lotion may provide temporary relief.

I've had this the last few weeks, I think it's eczema caused by the cold weather??

GP prescribed E45 itch relief cream which has helped.

Try an antihistamine to calm the itching
