Itchy and sore skin on legs?

i used to have a few stretch marks on my legs but they've gone now, only to be replaced by itchy skin. if i scratch it, it becomes sore as if i've bruised it but it doesn't stop itching. the skin itself isn't flaky or red and doesn't appear to be irritated. i put cream on it every once in a while put it doesn't go away.





what can it be? do i need stronger cream?

Itchy and sore skin on legs?
You haven't got ring worm. That's just rubbish. If you had, you'd have lots of red circular patches over your legs, which would have come up over the period of a few months.





You need to cream your skin every time you bathe i.e. once daily. If at all possible, try to cream it twice a day. You need to use gently exfoliating sponges or bath puffs to remove all of the dead skin that is causing the irritation. Also stop using bubble baths, perfumed soaps or perfumed creams.





Use something like moisturising soap (Dove Cream Bar Extra Sensitive £1.19) and moisture intensive cream i.e. Boots Expert Sensitive Moisture Boost Body Cream for £2.99. Good luck
Reply:ring worms. If you share towels or work equipment you might have caugt ring worms. Go to Dr. and he/she will give you some antiobiotics.
