What Causes Itching And Redness On The Legs?

The pits of my legs are red and very itchy, I recently got a dog but I don t think he s the cause because I ve shown no other allergic reaction to his fur... I also think I have Psoriasis on my upper arms and my scalp. I have mild, teenage acne as well as asthma and a couple moths ago, I had tonsillitis around Thanksgiving last year.
