My legs get really itchy, and normal lotion doesn't always seem to help. I use Cetaphil body lotion on my legs, but I'm wondering if there's
something that would help more with the itchiness.
Best lotion for itchy legs?

I don't know...does folliculitis show up? Because you can't SEE anything...it just gets itchy sometimes. I don't put on lotion nearly as much as I
should though.

I get really, insanely itchy legs all the time. The only cream that helps me is Gold Bond. It did not stop the itching completely but it helped a hell of a
lot.

I would say just switch to the Cetaphil heavy cream- it works really well for my daughter.

My legs get itchy only if i shave, so that's obviously often.

I use Sarna for sensitive skin, and it works almost immediately. I love it, and I know just what you're talking about. Mine always itch for a few days
after I shave. I try to put it on right after I shower every day. You can find it at Walgreen's in the anti-itch section in the pharmacy area. They have an
original version as well, but some people can't stand the odor. That one has camphor in it so it tingles when you put it on. It feels good, but only wear
it if you plan on staying home since it kinda smells...different.
here is a link showing the ingredients in it & what it looks like: Sarna |

hi SCARLET!!
i use to put Eucerin LOTION on my kids when they had skin issues.......it was da BOMB! if you are looking for a hemp seed oil one, try WalMart MALIBU brands: cherry almond; orange (smells like a orange cream cycle) & regular scent smells just like the pricey HEMPZ brand. they are ~5.50 doll hairs!! & very moisturizing........... |

my legs itch so much when i shave.. it is actually painful. Eucerin works really well. I found it to be better than Cetaphil especially since i also suffer
from eczema (sp?).

I have eczema, and sometimes my skin gets very dry and itchy. I usually stay away from scented body washes. I like Aveeno daily moisturizing lotion, Neutrogena
sesame body oil and Trader Joe's Midnight Summer's Cream Moisturizing Lotion.

I LOVE Hempz lotion. I'm EXTREMELY anti-Walmart, so I'll pay extra for the Hempz.
That hasn't really helped with itchy legs, but I want to get
some more of it for my hands and stuff.
