White itchy legs it is irritating !!!!!!!

Dawn · Guest

Normally I have very itchy legs lately I have noticed that my legs are extremely itchy. My left leg between my ankle and knee (back) is very itch as a result of that certain spots are white and spotty and raised a little. it is not the whole leg but parts of it. I have done research on this and I have come up with nothing. Can you tell me what is this?

If it were just itching without any spots, the reason could be dry skin. Dry skin could itch quite a lot.
Considering you have developed the spots, I reckon you should see a doctor and make sure there’s not an underlying disease. Dry skin wouldn’t cause any visible signs but an infection, eczema, or psoriasis would.

By going through your symptoms I would say it is foliculitis, infected ingrown hairs. This problem usually goes away on its own in a few days time bit if bacteria are persistent, you may need some antibiotics to clear the infection.

There are over 2000 skin disorders and you need to be examined to find out what exactly your problem is. You are most likely to cure it if you get a proper treatment from a doctor.
