It definately happens to me especially after a stressful or anxious time/ event..i feel a hot flash usually or sometimes without it , i think its the body’s reaction sometimes to stress

I used to get it but on my feet.

I had really itchy legs a few weeks ago, from the knee down to the ankles, was scratching them like mad which didn’t help.

It used to drive me crazy when it happened.. Hated it.

Yes I’ve had that, and yes it can be itchy. I had a red mark come up on my knee the other night I thought I’d got bitten at first, it was quite red for no reason so I took a frozen pack of peas and put them on it for a while, the next day it had gone. Had it come up on my arms as well on and off, not raised just red and blotchy, but then it disappears. Weird

Yes i agree it could be a number of things, maybe an allergic reaction , the fabric worn, the humidity and the heat , and anxiety and stress in addition to other enotional and physica issues could be caused

Currently dealing with a lot of rashes and itchiness. Also have been having a flare up of what ever undiagnosed illness I have. Just took an antihistamine. Hopefully it settles down soon. I have been having a lot of stress and anxiety lately due to my symptoms and in the past prior to this episode I would notice rashes on days when I was more stressed.

I don’t get rashes but I do get itchiness all over when I am stressed out .

Hives are common with anxiety !

Hope you feel better soon ;)

Yes! I've had them on the back of my thighs and buttocks! Definitely stress but could be allergies too.
