A member asked:
I am suffering from itching in my legs, mainly at night time and is so severe most days i cause my legs to bleed from itching. what is the cause?

Excessively: Dry skin during the winter months is a very common cause of nocturnal pruritis. If you haven't yet done so would use a very good moisturizing body lotion at least twice daily for a few days. In the interim otc Diphenhydramine can help with the symptoms.
