Very itchy legs in the evening

Hi all

As of the past week I have been really struggling with itchy legs in the evenings. I thought it's due to taking hotter showers but today I took a cooler shower, still itching

I have tried the following

  • using coconut oil straight after
  • using dermol while legs are still wet
  • taking a cooler shower today

No change in detergent/body wash. Only thing I can think of is I started cranking up the water temp/heating as it got colder maybe i've damaged my skin now? Anyone experienced this before and has advice on how to solve the issue? Want to try at home before calling GP

Do you shave your legs? I use Venus blades but I sometimes find they have a bad batch which I'm allergic to and I get ridiculously itchy legs from them.

@Sofabum that's interesting. I use Venus blades too. I might switch it up and see if it helps!! Thank you!
