My little boy keeps saying his legs are itchei what could i do to help him he is only 5 years old?

Start simple: Wee ones have limited word options to describe things. Assuming you see nothing rash-y or abnormal on his legs, he may have dry skin. Would start with quality skin lotion 1-2 times/day for a few days & see if improves. Kids also tend to mimic adults' behaviors--anyone @ home complain about their akin or put medication/lotion on?

Most common dryness: A lot of times dryness of skin leads to itching. Moisturizers can hydrate skin by preventing water loss and attracting water to the skin. When rash occurs with itching called eczema or atopic dermatitis. Self-care measures, such as avoiding soaps or other irritants and applying creams or ointments.

ALLERGIES: 5 year old with isolated leg itching may be from local allergens. Summertime, allergy, itching, rashes are more seen in exposed areas e.G legs, forearms. Playing in grasses, insect bites are commin causes. Look for insect bite, if any, wash with soap and water, apply moisturizing lotion; if too itchy, use Benadryl (diphenhydramine) or 1% Hydrocortisone cream. Overall keep skin hydrated by using mild moisturizers.
