My legs are getting really itchy, and when i scratch them they go red with white lumps, kind of like when you get a nettle sting. what's happening?

Dermatographism: That means your skin is very sensitive. If it is bothersome, an antihistamine may help. Dry skin may lead to itching and dermatographism as well , thus consider applying a skin moisturizer
