I have been scratching my legs, ankles, calfs, etc to the point where i start bleeding... i tried putting calamine lotion but it only makes my legs drier so am using normal lotion but it's not helping. is this normal during pregnancy or is this something else????
Is it normal to have itchy skin (legs) during pregnancy?
It is usually normal. One thing I used was Aveeno lotion which has oatmeal in it. I also used body cream from Bath and Body Works but sometimes the fragrence can make it itchier. Avoid anything with medication in it unless your doctor says it's ok. Talk to your doctor and see if they recommend anything. It should go away after you deliver the baby! Good luck!
Reply:I would think it would be because of the cold winter. Everyone's skin gets dry and itchy when the air gets colder. Get some heavy duty cream and put it on after a shower then put sweatpants on to lock in the moisture.
