itchy legs??

Anyone have horribly itchy legs?  I am going to call my OB on tues when they open but I'm going crazy!  My legs itch so badly its like I could itch them until they bleed.  I've tried all kinds of moisturizers and even cortizone cream.  The only thing that really helps is holding ice packs on my legs until they are numb.

    I haven't had that, but sounds awful.  I use Aveeno oatmeal lotion on my legs and it helps a lot.  You could also be having a reaction to perfumed lotions or shaving cream.  Our skin is so sensitive right now and does such weird stuff.  An oatmeal bath also helps some people.  I would skip the OB and go directly to a derm on Tues.  Good luck I hope it improves.
    I give up trying to get a ticker.  I have a DD that is 2.5 years old and is awesome.  Maybe I'll add a quote to distinguish myself.  Hmmm.  How about...

    Sorry, my skin has gotten really dry lately, but nothing that bad.  I drink a ton of water a day & that is supposed to help.  Maybe try a butter instead of a moisturizer right after the shower, that is thicker and may help.  Good luck

    I have this problem too.  I keep taking aveeno oatmeal baths and lotioning up.  It isn't really helping.  Let me know what your doc says!

    My legs are dry but not too itchy but my boobs are really itchy! I love Aveeno and I've been slathering it on myself. 

    I think pregnancy just dries your skin out. Maybe the dr will have a good tip for the dryness.

    Yes itchy legs, stomach, nipples, and in between my fingers ( looks like exsema ?) they are itchy and cracked I think from washing my hands so much because I am in the bathroom always going pee.  I haven't had much relief, but would love to hear what your doctor says. Good luck, we need it.

    something has been irritating me lately as well, but it looks more like bites than a rash.  It is definitely annoying, and I too will scratch til it bleeds.  No

    Me too, I just thought that I had bug bites.  (And maybe I do.)
