What Causes Itchness On Legs?

Hi there. I am a 23 year old female. 113 lbs. 5' 2". I am allergic to Dairy and I avoid all dairy products. I would like to know (please) why my legs (from the knee to my ankle) are so incredibly itchy! I show no bumps, no rashes, no discolorations. If I shave my legs, they usually start itching a day or two later. I have not noticed a specific pattern as to when they get itchy besides awhile after shaving. Kind of like when the hair starts to grow back. I scratch so much that I break skin and bleed. I shower regularly. At the time of the itchiness, if I apply lotion, it makes it worse by a burning feeling plus it intensifies the itch. They can start itching at work, home, anywhere. Whether I wear pants, shorts, or dresses. I don't know what to do! Please help!
