| I have noticed that during the winter months my legs get itchy too after running or taking a bath, for myself I have found that it has to do more with the humidity in my house, your furnace may be to blame, if it has a humidity adjustment maybe adjust it a notch, we burn a lot of wood here where I live during the winter so my house is very dry, I started using a room size humidifier ( just in the winter) and it has helped, and a good lotion or baby oil after a bath or shower works to. |

Quote from greenrunning on 1/24/2008 at 10:01 PM:If you think your itchy legs are bad, check this out (don't even ask how I found it) Poison Ivy Rash Hall of Fame ...yes, it's disgusting, but you know you want to at least peek at it
This one looks more like shingles than PI. I had that a year ago...I hope I am now immune. And I had a really mild case (never erupted, luckily).
This time of the year I would guess dry air to be the cause of itchy legs, too. We have a humidifier that puts out about 5 gallons of water into the air EVERY day. Think about that...5 gallons. And my skin still feels dry. When our filters get too full of minerals and the humidifier can't put out as much moisture it is truly miserable.

| I've had a problem with itchy thighs, hands and feet whlie jogging. My doctor informed me it was exercise-induced urticaria. I now take an antihistamine before jogging and I don't have the itching problem anymore. I hope this helps you! |
