ITCHY SKIN

[Stacey85]

Hey,

So random but do any of you suffer with itchy feet, ankles and shins by any chance?

I sometimes have itchy soles, I’ve never considered a connection.

I have had severe skin infection/eczema in the past, but a long time ago and more face and hands.

The consultant did ask about skin infection and there can be a link, but don’t ask me what it was, I can’t remember what he said. 😊

Have you noticed a link?

Hi, when I get a flare up i get itchy elbows....strange as I though was only my imagination but is true. As soon as the flare up goes does so does the itching.

Could be on a nerve supply as well. I remembered something about itching from the consultation.

The things you suddenly think of and associate. I keep thinking of other things I’ve had for years and if they are connected. 😂 really need to stop thinking!

Hi, yes! My shins itch really badly. They were so bad a few years back that I caused them to bleed by scratching. They’re especially bad after a bath for some reason. It’s like the heat causes them to feel like sunburn. I’ve never linked it with endo though. X

So bad, my whole legs are horrendous after a howler or bath, I now have to take antihistamines for it

Yes I get so itchy! It's something to do with hormones apparently, I had to get a cream from the doctor which helped a little

[DAML8 in reply to Mdunc]

What cream were you prescribed please?

[Mdunc in reply to DAML8]

It's called eumovate cream, got it the same time as another cream which didn't help at all so it might just be lucky! My skin is still itchy but this helps with the scratches after.

Yes like at night sometimes I can spend the whole night scratching and can’t sleep and my feet and ankles are bleeding from it. It hasn’t happened for a while thank goodness.

So glad I'm not the only one!!! Looks like it could be Autoimmune progesterone dermatitis. I'm no doctor but sounds very like it xx
