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..Health Question & Answer

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.. Health Question & Answer
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 :) Health Question & Answer
