What Causes Itchy Legs Despite Wearing Different Boots?

Hi, over the last few days whenever I m in my office, my legs are itching (even if I m wearing different boots) which I had no problems with in the past. It feels like something is crawling or biting me causing the little itch. What do you think is the cause?

Hi...Can understand your concern...As per your query about having itchy or crawling like sensation while using even different boots can be a fungal infection in your feet or some times leather also gets some fungus growth inside which are not visible......Another possibility is also allergy to leather...I suggest you to use dusting powder like candid which contains clotrimazole which is antifungal.use it on your feet before wearing socks and shoes...It should help but if you are experiencing severe itching or rashes you should take levocetrizine tablet and consult a physician.I hope the information helps you...Take care.
