hoping this helps with the leg and ankle itchiness. i noticed the skin was super dry and kinda scaly so i am thinking the itchiness could be coming from that.

i have moisturized my ankles and feet. also moisturized my elbows cause they have been chronically dry for over a decade

update: 15 minutes after applying moisturizer to my feet, the nerves in my feet are actually functioning???

I can FEEL things with them?????

MY FEET WEREN'T THAT BAD WERE THEY????

Update: absolutely ZERO itching last night. Day one a success, it very much seems like the itchiness was a side effect of my feet being super dry.

Will continue moisturizing daily for a bit and see if this is coincidental or if the itching really does stop long term

Another thing to check with scaly-seeming feet is athlete's foot. For a while I had been moisturizing what felt like dry feet and eventually a doctor ended up telling me actually what had been happening with my skin down there was athlete's foot fungal problems.

it doesn't look like athlete's foot from what i can see? and i don't think the symptoms and traits quite match? but i will definitely check with my doctor!

Obviously real checking is better than online medical anecdotes! Just relaying my experience, because I didn't think it looked like what I thought that condition looked like either. But once I got the right treatment applied the relief was long term!

Yeye of course! I appreciate the recommendation!
