Really itchy on the inside part of calves that then causes a rash. also on the side/back of neck. may be related - dryness around lips.in costa rica.

Itchy legs: For itchy areas you can use Benadryl (diphenhydramine) cream or lotion. It is available over the counter. For the other areas that are not itchy, use eucerin lotion or cream. The skin will get itchy when it is dry. Moisturizing the skin will stop the itching. Good luck and feel better.
