My husband has been itching for over 2 1/2 years, at least. Their has been no sign of a rash or a reason for the itching. He saw a Dr. over a year ago who gave him clobetesole compounded with menthol. It did nothing. He is stubborn, but I am worried. He scratches until he breaks skin. He has little scabs on his lower legs and around his ankles. I have been searching all over for other people with this. he mainly does it at night, and he is cluless that he is doing it. He claims that it is like blinking. He dosn't stop to think of what he is doing.
-He doesn't regularily see a dr. so currently he does not have a primary physician. We are also on a tight budget, so we can't afford dr. playing gussing games with what is wrong with him, while building up bills we can't pay. that is why I am starting here.
PLEASE HELP

Some people with eczema use a B-12 cream to relieve itchiness. He can also try a baking soda bath, or putting some baking soda on a washcloth and rubbing it on his legs in the shower.

He should definitely be taking supplements like omega 3 fish oil, natural vitamin E, and vitamin D3. Coconut oil, a teaspoon per day, may help hydrate the skin when taken internally. Aloe vera may help soothe the itch also.

It's good if you know what's causing the itch, an allergy or chemically cleaned work pants, etc. Putting vaseline on the lower leg may help at night, but it would have to be covered with a sock.

In rare cases, itching and the habitual action of scratching may stem from emotional reasons like stress.

Bedbugs? Have him sleep on the couch for a night and see if it happens the next day.

The itching is most likely caused by one of three things.

1 > He is allergic to something he is using on a daily basis. This could be anything from a blanket to dairy or gluten.

2 > He has some fungal issues.

3 > He has Morgellons disease, which is really not a disease at all but is a condition that several people, smarter than me, think is caused by consuming GMO food. This would mainly be from grains.

Put colloidal silver (from a health food store, 10 to 20 ppm in strength) in a spray bottle and spray the open sores several times per day. That will help prevent infection, heal the wounds, and help with the itching. He should also injest an ounce or two of the colloidal silver per day.

A long time ago, I bought a skin cream, called Dermavive. It contains vitamin D. It is the best solution for any itch that I've had. I don't know if it is still on the market, but I did find this article regarding vitamin D cream.

https://www.ehow.com/about_6636942_vi...-problems.html
"Topical application of vitamin D cream can be used as a treatment for skin problems like psoriasis, which is a skin condition that causes dry, red, flaky skin. According to Web MD, vitamin D is also recommended as a treatment for the common skin abnormality, eczema, vitiligo and scleroderma. "

If your husband's leg itchiness is from dryness, you might try the coconut oil first. I sometimes have this same
problem - w/itchy legs/ankles esp. Spreading a light coat of coconut oil on the areas helps me.
Then I don't wear slacks or socks for several hours to lett it soak in.
Perhaps you can buy a small jar of the Coconut Oil at your health food store.
I don't know if regular grocery stores or drug stores sell coconut oil. Maybe someone else knows.

Does he wear socks with any kind of coloring/dye? Fabric dyes can be a prime eczema trigger, particularly in socks (or gloves). Socks that are too tight can also be a problem. The best way I've found to heal after an outbreak in that area is to rub skin cream over the feet and ankles, then put on comfortable white cotton socks. Do this just before bed, so that the cream stays on over night. It can take anywhere from a few days to a week or more depending on the severity of the outbreak.

Hello everybody,

I agree with what kind2creatures had to say. Take some EFA's (emulsified flaxseed oil from Barleans, hempseed oil are my favorites) and/or coconut oil. Both nice ways to improve skin health. Applying the coconut oil topically is also a great idea. Thanks to everybody for sharing that tidbit of goodness.

Dyed socks can also be an irritant as can various cleaning products. Since the irritation is so localized, that's a good thing to look into.

I'm a big believer in aloe vera or aloe barbadensis. My favorite topical aloe product is Aloe Skin Gel by AloeLife. Simple (and very clean) ingredient list, effective, and reasonably priced. Great formula.

I wish you the best in finding happy resolution.
