Why I Am Having Heavy Itching In My Calf Area Of My Right Leg?

Question: Hi, I am having heavy itching in my calf area of my right leg. I have attached a photo of the calf area that is causing the itching. Can you please advise what kind of skin disease is this?
Brief Answer:
Regarding itching on calf
Detailed Answer:
Hello ,
You could be having ingrown hair problem which is common after waxing/shaving as hairs start to regrow back and cause bumps on skin along with symptoms like itching and inflammation.. This is usually self limiting. Therefore I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g Cetrizine 10mg once daily for symptomatic relief from itching. In addition I suggest you to use a soothing lotion e.g calamine lotion for symptomatic relief
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
Thanks.
