Hi,
Itchy Lower legs can be caused by different causes including allergic contact dermatitis, xerosis, diabetes, diseases other than diabetes, insect bites, poor hygiene, stasis or gravitational eczema. I advise you to If the itch causes so much discomfort that it’s affecting your ability to sleep or it becomes a detriment to your daily life and interferes with your work, make an appointment with your doctor.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
