Every few days my shins become really itchy - there is no sign of a rash - the skin looks normal . I put Aqueous cream BP on my shins which makes them less itchy and in 2 or 3 days it seems to clear up but will start to itch again a few days later . This problem has been going on for about 18 months . I am a fit and generally healthy 63 year old man . The only medication i take is mesalazine for ulcerative colitis . David .
