What Causes Itching In The Legs?

I have itching on my legs. No bumps just red skin. I seems to last about a week and then go away for no particular reason. The only thing that helps is cold water. It happens about once a year. No allergies and it doesn t happen at any particular time of year.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.


According to your complaints it seems to be urticaria which is an allergic reaction. I would recommend you to take anti-histaminic like tablet Cetrizine once daily at bedtime.
