Right, a bit of a weird one: my housemate and I both have very itchy lower legs at the moment. Just in the evenings, really intense itching isolated to our calves. There is nothing to see on the skin apart from a bit of redness after we've been scratching.
We thought about bed bugs but neither of us have bites and surely it would be all over rather than just one area?
We're v confused about it, we're both early twenties with no other conditions (I have eczema in other places but this is completely different). Very confusing that it's happening to both of us as the same time! Can anyone shed any light?

Fleas ?

Allergy to something?

We have no pets and no bites - could it still be fleas?

Do you live in a hard water area?

I get very itchy lower legs and we have now got a water softener which did the trick! Other than that, certain washing detergents do it to me too. Usually on my legs and stomach.
