Since I have been dx I have noticed that every time I shave my legs a few hours later my right leg right on my shin starts itching to the point I could do some damage. Does anyone else experience this since being dxed?

Crazy I know....

Hello,

I don't know if after I shave, but I know there are times after I've showered sometimes my legs or foot will itch like crazy. I've itched my leg where I've scared it. I don't know what it's about.

dont feel bad betcar, i dont shave mine either. I use a dipilitory cream from avon.

I use Veet or Nair...the ones with mosturizers cause I get such dry skin from shaving + winter.

OH thank you betcar, that means my torso isn't getting longer wheeew... that's a relief. Fortunately I don't have any hair on my legs since my hysterectomy caused early menopause, that and heredity... bless my Mama's blood. I have my hubby put lotion on my legs cuz they get dry and itchy.

I have tried baby oil, moisturizing lotion, just about everything. Honestly I wouldn't even bother if it wasn't for me being afraid my docs will feel the pricklies! LOL

lol I dont worry about shaving enless I truly have to,my mother inlaw says she doesnt shave in winter it helps keep her legs warm,lol

as for the itch hmm if lotion hasnt helped Im not sure what to suggest,try shaving with hair conditinor it waork pretty good and might help the itch

Thanks broken I will try that. It's bad when I shave for my docs but not my husband! LOL

lol I dont shave for either,lol..one thing I know if it helps docs see it all they dont judge they prbable dont notice enless it is really really bad!

your hubby might be happy for you to go to the doc lol

My legs itch so bad it feels like poison ivy. I found that aveno lotion works really well for this but i have to put it on a couple times. So i shave as little as possiable.
