Yes I've had the same problem but in winter especially when having a bath and afterwards. I found that to moisturise liberally prevented the itching and burning. I use Bioderma Atoderm intensive baume, available at selected pharmacies. Dry skin seemed to be the cause. This past winter there was no recurrence . This happened before my PMR life! Best of luck.

I have issues in the winter due to dry indoor air....sometimes if I forget to put on lotion the itching occurs around my socks area. In winter I can't wear socks with certain elastic in them. But not in summer when the heat is off. Odd but there you go.

Not what you're looking for?
