Itching on your legs and hands, even without dry skin, can be caused by several underlying issues. Here’s a concise explanation:
Possible Causes of Itching (without dry skin):
1. Allergic Reaction – Could be from soaps, detergents, clothing fabric, or food.
2. Heat or Sweat Rash – Especially common in humid weather or after sweating.
3. Urticaria (Hives) – Red, raised, itchy welts that come and go.
4. Nerve-related Itching – Conditions like diabetes, neuropathy, or sciatica can cause intense itching.
5. Insect Bites or Scabies – Especially if the itching is worse at night or spreads.
6. Liver or Kidney Issues – Internal problems can cause generalized itching.
7. Stress or Anxiety – Itching can worsen with psychological stress.
What You Can Do:
Use a mild, fragrance-free soap and wear loose cotton clothes.
Avoid hot showers; use cool or lukewarm water.
Apply calamine lotion or an anti-itch cream (like hydrocortisone).
Antihistamines like cetirizine (under medical advice) can reduce itching.
Visit a dermatologist if the itching persists or worsens — especially if there’s redness, rash, or it disturbs sleep
