Insanely itchy skin

OMG, my shins have been driving me crazy with how itchy they have been. It's gotten so bad that I scratch so much that I make myself bleed. I've tried a couple of skin lotions but those don't seem to do much. Anyone have this issue and if so how did you deal with it? I'm tired of making myself bleed.

    I had a similar problem. I've used udder cream (Udderly Smooth), a prescription anti-psoriasis ointment, anti-fungal cream, etc. with no great success. Finally went to see a dermatologist, who gave me a cortisone cream to stop the immediate itching and recommended Cerave, an over-the-counter cream (about $15 for 8-ounce jar). That cleared it up within a week, and the problem hasn't come back.:banana:
