Reasons why the skin on your legs is particularly itchy:

Generally speaking, leg skin itching often occurs on the inner thighs, calf flexion sides and around the joints of the patient. Leg skin itching mainly occurs at night, and this itching causes many people to experience symptoms such as dizziness, blurred vision, panic, and insomnia.

Lack of moisture in the skin will cause the surface to lose its luster, the epidermis to be thin and brittle, and many wrinkles to form. It will easily produce dry dandruff, which will clog the pores and cause obstructed excretion of the pores. In severe cases, many small pimples may develop on the skin. The skin's ability to retain moisture is insufficient and it is too dry. Dry and flaky skin will stimulate the itch nerves and cause an itchy sensation.

Generally speaking, itching can be caused by endocrine disorders, and seasonal itching is more likely to occur in winter. However, studies in recent years have found that liver and kidney diseases and malignant tumors can also easily cause skin itching.

In addition, studies have found that psychological factors, such as long-term negative emotions, can also cause itching symptoms. Itching symptoms on the legs are also related to excessive cleansing of the skin, which causes degreasing and drying of the skin.
