    Ha. Weird. Had the same issue recently, and it's a new thing for me. Back of my calves only though.

    I've had it years. Scratching it feels ace but I can't stop once I start so I try avoid it.

    Chuff me not you as well, i think theres a epidemic going on......couple of mates of mine come down with same thing....over a period of 3 days it spread north attacking the old oracles and father time himself.

    Both been to doctors and the doc reckons best remedy is to cover the rash ( rash will appear soon ) in ice cream ......sprinklys optional.....joking

    and then massage slowly , if you stick a flake in it you can change hands at 99 ....

    failing that dont worry the rash goes in a week.....

    mind you so does the oracles and old father time which drop off eventually

    I know you're joking shed but just thought I'd say I don't get a rash. It's bizarre.

    Had this earlier this year as well. Was told by the doc it's a circulation issue.

    This is really weird - today I googled 'restless legs syndrome' aka Willis-Ekbom disease which I thought I might have..........

    Yes, and elbows too. No idea what it is, strangely started after I moved to Leeds so I just put it down to that.

    Probably dry skin after showering, may need to moisturise.

    I have developed this over recent years - and it aint a joke - I've scratched most of the hair off my lower legs - it sends you crackers.

    I think its caused by colder weather when moisture levels in the air fall.
    I seem to get it when the temperatures drops to near freezing

    Moisturising with things like E45 just do not work.

    You need EURAX from the chemist or something as strong.

    I've suffered all year round for as long as I can remember. It does indeed send you crackers.

    Cold to warm or warm to cold. Drives me crackers. Make sure you drink enough water. Dehydration can be a problem. Also cream can help. Winter always sets mine off.

    I wish you'd not posted this. I've had it numerous times in the past but had a long spell without it.

    Now reading this, they are starting again! [MENTION=6980]Ponty72[/MENTION] 'Scratching it feels ace but I can't stop once I start so I try avoid it.' - Exactly right!

    I could keep scratching until there's no skin left.
