Severe dry, itchy skin condition on lower legs: what to do?!


Question: Severe dry, itchy skin condition on lower legs: what to do!?
For several years I've had recurring dry and itchy skin on my lower legs!. When I scratch my skin small sores resembling bites appear (with bleeding)!. I don't think they're bites as I live in a small apartment that has never had any animals and I certainly havn't seen any evidence of fleas or other insects!. I think it's a direct result of my dry skin!.

It only occurs in the summer months!. When I start to sweat, the dry skin becomes very itchy!. In the winter months it clears up!. I take high blood pressure medicine such as Diovan and Toprol, and I've read that they could cause dry skin!. Otherwise, I'm in good health!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
You may have a touch of eczema or some similar type of dry skin condition which may or may not be related to your medication!. I suggest you moisturise your legs twice a day, (am and pm)!. I would also be drinking more water to hydrate your skin more!. Bathing with a cap ful of almond oil or similar may be good!. Also check the soap that you are using as it may be too harsh for your skin!. Try a more natural substitute maybe!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Is it excema!? If it is your doctor will prescribe you some cortizone cream which will clear it up!. Or could you have a soap allergy!? Try using Aqueous body wash!. Sorry if I spelt that wrong! It could be a sweat rash, their are certain soaps out there that are anti-perspirants which would help with that!. But if all else fails your doctor can give you a referral to a skin specialist, goodluck :) Www@Answer-Health@Com
