Itching of the skin on the lower legs may result from dry skin or dermatitis, or it may be caused by poor hygiene or eczema. If dry skin is the cause, applying a moisturizing cream can help alleviate symptoms. If dermatitis is responsible, medications—such as loratadine—may be prescribed under a physician’s guidance. Additionally, maintaining good personal hygiene and bathing regularly is essential.
