I came out in lots of little red lumps on my lower legs and buttocks when first took the itch from PBC and dermatoligist told me it was foliculitis from all the scratching however the antibiotics she rescirbed made the itch worse so stopped them and eventually lumps disappeared. I take Questran Light for the itch you need to get this on prescription. If you click onto my previous blog have on there some advice re itch as it is at times crazy! And you feel like your going crazy with it. Small bit of advice keep your nails short so that you do not damage your skin with all the scratching. Hope you get relief from it soon.

My skin on my lower legs especially doesn't look great anymore due to persistent rubbing and itching when I have the itch at night.

The backs of my calves have gone a tanned shade which I believe is common on areas that are constantly rubbed or scratched in PBC.

I occasionally get some tiny bumps but I think as littlemo stated, it is due to the hair follicles reacting to the scratching. I also noticed that after these little bumps that became red healed up, you can see slight brown marks (scars) now due to this PBC. Think need the sun that is pending to really brighten my legs up as last yr they looked far better than they did over the winter period.

One thing I do try to do is keep my legs aired and also use an cheap emollient aqueous cream on my legs morn and/or night to try to keep them from becoming dry.
