I just began visiting gym 3 times a week & lower right leg itched for a week? Maybe increased blood flow? Then back to normal & no itching?
Summer I get busy splitting wood & lower arm itched for a few weeks? I thought it was strange & then it stopped? Maybe blood flow to muscles?

I didn't have itchy skin until after my BMT and developed GVHD which affected my skin and GI tract. The nurses put some cream on it, but I have no idea what kind...but it helped. Maybe call your Dr and ask them for what would help.

I itch all over. Not much at the same time, but have had that happen. My scalp itches too. It can be maddening. When all over, I shower, the use CeraVe lotion. The Dermatologist prescribed Triamcinolone Cream when the itching is not all over and Clobetasol Propionate for my scalp( liquid). I found Scalpicin works just as well. I sure understand the itching. God Bless You.

For relief, try using gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers, wearing loose-fitting, breathable fabrics like cotton, and avoiding scratching to prevent infection. If the rash persists or worsens, consult your doctor, as it could be related to treatment or a condition like Sweet’s syndrome.
