Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itching on upper side of my legs. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like allergic reaction, pruritus , atopic dermatitis, xerotic eczema, contact dermatitis or infestations. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply cold compresses to itchy area and keep it clean and dry. Avoid touching or pricking these areas. You should apply petroleum jelly on it and take antihistamine like benadryl . If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order certain test like skin patch test or allergy test . Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants or corticosteroid ointment .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
