This could be a lot of things. What you can do for the itching for right now is get a lotion thats non scented, because scented lotions are more or less to hydrate your skin when you get out of the shower type of thing, not actually for itching. Or get a benadryl spray, that stuff works WONDERS. My boyfriend had poison ivy and that was the only thing that soothed his legs and stopped the itching. Now, what it could be, is a case of eczema, something like 1 in 3 siblings have it. (you dont have to be a sibling to get it) but its something you would need to get diagnosed by your doctor, and possibly some medication to help stop the itching. It could also be razor burn, if this happens shorty after youve shaved and theres little red dots, in that case you need to wait until your legs are nice and warm and moist from your shower/bath before you start shaving and never shave with a dull razor, and dont press down hard. Then moisturize immediatly once your out of your bath/shower. It could also be heat rash, your skin getting way too hot out in the heat, in pants, whatever the case, and what would help that a lot is too keep your legs moisturized but also dont stay too hot for too long, always try to wear shorts/skirts when going out in the heat, things like that. Theres an indian cooking flour you can get thats yellowish in color called Besan (aka gram flour) it helps a lot with heat rash too, to spread it over your legs, let it sit then get in a cold bath. Im honestly suggesting to you though to go to a doctor, since im not one and I cant tell you for sure what you have. He/she will be able to tell you exactly what it is and how to fix it, especially since youve had it for so long. Im sorry you feel that way, I understand your pain because all of the things I described, ive had, which is why I knew so much about it. I really hope this gets better for you soon, good luck! :]
