So I have an itch that has occurred in the past on my left shin right around summer time. Naturally, when it begins to itch, I have scratched it. I am now at the point where it looks as if I have been kicked in the shin playing soccer repeatedly. Skin has been broken a few times due to excessive scratching. I have attempted Coritzone 10 as well as a product called MG217 for Psoriasis. I have given my best effort to not scratch it when it itches, but I have had points where scratching at it was my only relief. It has also occurred in my sleep and I have awakened to scratching at it with my heels, which are callousy, therefore providing the friction needed to assist in scratching.
