Hi,Linda,
You continue the cream you are using.
Wash your legs before going to bed and apply some soothing cream like Vaseline
Do some leg exercise for good circulation in the lrgs.
ok and bye..

Hi! linda,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum,
Neurodermatitis is a condition where in one gets severe itching on the outer aspect of lower leg especially when one is completely free and relaxed .There is a scratch -itch cycle which develops here .
Because of constant itching one can get two kinds of scar - one which is dark black i n color and other when it becomes de-pigmented (milky white) .I guess you have developed a dark patch over the area.
If it is so ,then you should apply a combination cream containing steroid and salicylic acid (3-5%) over the lesion.This will not only reduce your itching ,but also your dark patches.
You can also take some steroid injection over the lesion if required.
The idea is to break the scratch-itch cycle ,and the above method would help here.
I hope this answers your query,if you have any further question,please write back to us.
regards,
Dr.chawda
