What Causes Itching Sensation On The Thigh?

Since summer i have been getting this very itchy feeling on the backs of my thighs. Nowhere else, just there. There is no rash, no flaking skin, no bumps....just very itchy. And if I scratch it it hurts. I thought it was an allergy so i switched laundry detergents, removed my sheepskin seat cover from my truck(allergic to wool), started using baby powder but her its spring and nothing is working. But i do notice its worse when i take a shower. Should i be concerned?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your case history of itching on thigh, my treatment advice is -
1. Maintain good hygiene and bath twice daily.
2. Apply an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole cream on it.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like Levocetirizine.
4. Other treatment options are oral Fluconazole, Itraconazole and Terbinafine taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
