That nighttime itching on the lower legs could actually be related to kidney disease rather than bug bites! Kidney disease can cause a crawling or prickling sensation under the skin that feels a lot like bug bites — and it often gets worse at night.
This is called uremic pruritus (or CKD-associated pruritus), and it happens Show Full Answer
My nephrologist said my itching wasn’t from CKD. My primary prescribed for me. I also went to a dermatologist. I am now on Dupixent for eczema and that has helped the mysterious rash and itch. When I do itch, I get an over the counter anti itch lotion that helps a lot! I hope your doctor is more responsive.
Darcy, Just read about your itching at night. I experience that as well. It is usually the calf and ankle and I use what I call my itch cream that stops it right away. It is a prescription for psoriasis that flares up on my husbands knee often . It takes just a tiny smear and stops the itch in about 5 minutes. IM not sure if I can recommend the name of the medicine here in this forum but ask your doctor to give you something. There may be something better than what I use. Make a list for questions.....if you are like me I srart talking and forget to ask my most important questions at the doctor's visit.
Darcy, And everyone instead of a script for ich cream get Hydrocortisone cream either at Walmart or better yet check your over-the-counter at your Medicare insurance company. You get it for free.
Thanks
