Suggest Treatment For Itching On The Lower Legs
Question: On both lower legs, I get itches. From my ankle to my upper calf.
I tried to change to new socks with special material, changed laundry detergent.
The same goes for my pants.
Then it goes away. If I don't wear socks, it diminishes.
Thanks,
XXXX

Brief Answer:
Likely to be due to a fungal infection.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. It seems that your itchiness is due to a fungal infection. I would insist you to apply candid (clotrimazole) lotion or powder in the affected areas. Also be sure to put some candid powder in your socks before you wear them. I think that your problem would be resolved.
Let me know if I could help further.
