Itchy legs

KaKip · February 2016

Anyone else experiencing extreme itchiness? I am 26 weeks and yesterday my legs started itching like crazy. Lotion and oatmeal baths help but only for a little while. I know there is cholestatis which can cause this and I will likely message my doc. Just wondering if anyone else has this.

I'm going to be honest the title of this thread went a completely different way than what I had pictured it in my mind.

Its weird but I only get itchy at night when I get ready to try to go to bed. Doc said to try Benedryl if it gets too uncomfortable but I just use a lotion with oatmeal in it

Haha, I was going to say maybe a conversation for you and your dr.

my legs were super itchy during the beginning of my pregnancy and I used dr jergens itchy relief formula and johnson's baby wash for dry skin (i thought my shower gel might be irritating my skin) and both seemed to help out

I use eucerin & it helps tremendously!

I'm itchy everywhere. Legs are usually the worst. When I work out if I get even a little sweaty, I feel like I'm having an allergic reaction all over. I have scratch marks on my thigh from a recent jog. Thank goodness I have a treadmill at home where no one can see me because I was scratching my stomach, back, arms, and legs like a crazy person the whole time.

I'm 26 weeks and suddenly overnight I have very dry legs by the end of the day even though I use Aveeno 24 hr moisturizer. Also weird dry patches on the back of my arms. I haven't had a whole lot of skin issues up until now so it must be a hormonal thing. I was hoping I wouldn't have any issues!

I typically have super dry skin and that mixed with pregnancy and winter time and my skin has been extra itchy. I changed soaps which helped and am changing laundry detergent as well to a free of every thing version. I try to apply lotion often but sometimes that makes the skin burn BAD which causes even more itchiness. I find that drinking lots of water (3 liters a day at least) helps a lot.
