Hi everyone, first time poster here, so apologies if this has been discussed before.

In the last few weeks I have developed itchy skin and scalp. My lower legs, hands and scalp are particularily itchy, though my skin doesn't seem to be particularily dry.

Any suggestions?:confused:
 
Welcome to the forum wwinegarden.Are you on any new meds? It might be a reaction. Maybe best to see your GP and check it out.
 
Itchy skin, without being dry, definitely needs a GP to look at it - worth asking if there's a GP at your surgery with a special interest in dermatology / skin when you phone for an appointment.
 
OK thanks guys, I will book an appointment with the GP as I am not on any new medication, it does seem to come and go, but I will have it checked out.
