What Causes Itchy Skin On Arms, Stomach, Behind Knees And Lower Legs?
I have itchey skin to the point that I scratch myself while sleeping and break the skin. It is only on my arms, stomach, behind my knees and my lower legs. I had cancer with chemo, radiation and blood transfusions 4 years ago. Could this be a side effect? I have tried lotions, benedryl and talked with my oncologist (he said it was all in my head or just dry skin).
