ITCHY LEGS
Leg itch, which provokes a desire to scratch, is not the same as leg tingling.
Causes of itchy legs are listed below:
Poor Hygiene
Dried sweat and shed skin cells that were not washed off for prolonged period can irritate the skin and cause leg itch.
Keratosis Pilaris (Chicken Skin, “Leg Acne”)
In keratosis pilaris (<< picture), thickening of the hair follicles result in small, skin-colored, red, or brown bumps (goose bumps, chicken skin, leg acne) on the thighs, arms or other parts of the body. Heat and irritation by clothes can provoke itch. Bumps in this non-harmful, genetically predisposed condition can be rubbed off, but they usually recur.
