Hi I have Raynaud's, get pains when it's cold or when i'm stressed/ red, blue white hands quite often... and have been getting really itchy bright red legs when I walk. I just wondered if anyone else gets itchy and red legs? I thought it was just hands and feet raynaud's affected?

Not sure if it is connected but I do have a lot of eczema all over my body, or sometimes just itchy red patches....? I have severe Raynaud's in my feet and occasionally my arms and legs get like that. :(

You may have more than Raynaud's perhaps. See your rheumatologist and get tested. I put cream on mine.

I have CREST and certainly get the itchy skin,if you use a good lotion and an antihistimine,I use Claritin, it really helps.
