What Causes Itching In Legs After Taking Shower?
For the past couple weeks a few minutes after I take a shower my legs itch badly. I have sensitive skin so I only use dove and clear all laundry detergent so I don't think it's my rag or towel. I put cortisone cream on with lotion and it still doesn't help. What else can I do?

Thank you for query,it is not clear about the morphology of rash duration and reason for applying steroid cream.The other precaution are to be followed.if it is dryness causing it you can gradually taper application of steroid cream and apply any good moisturizer creams which you can apply liberally after bath.You can get back directly to me for any clarifications with the photos.Dr Bharatesh D Basti Dermatologist and Venereologist.
