A member asked:
I'm reading online that itchy legs are a symptom of cancer! is this true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rarely: Cancer is not a common reason to have itching on your kegs. Internet is not a good source of information about a common probelm which can have many many causes. I would advise you to see your family doctor for physical examination to determine why you have the itching probelm and offer you treatment. A skin specialist (dermatologist) can also be helpful if the problem continues unabated.
