Have intermittent intense itching of lower arms and legs. moisturizing doesn't help. interferes with sleep. scratching intensifies symptoms.

See derm: Most itching can be managed but you need to consult your doctor to make sure that there is not a systemic disease condition causing the itching.

C a dermatologist : for management, moisturizers if applied on a dry skin can intensify itching, rather after bathing with cream soap, then moisturizing while still damp, this is in the interim till you see an expert. Many reasons can cause such symptoms, dry exposed areas of skin is one of them, but other conditions, after careful examination need to be considered, good luck
