Hi there, welcome to HCM. -Dry and itchy skin over the shins points towards asteatotic eczema...it occurs when the skin becomes abnormally dry, itchy and cracked... -Use a syndet soap or shower gel which help your skin to retain moisture.... -Apply thick emollients and moisturizers such as petroleum jelly / petrolatum or oily cream several times daily... -Do not expose skin to direct heat... -Apply mild topical steroid cream or ointment to reddened skin for a few days; hydrocortisone cream or ointment is often sufficient... -A more potent topical steroid may be necessary if the eczema is severe.. -Take antihistamines like levocetrizine 10mg at bed time if itching is severe.. Hope you find it helpful
