What causes itchy legs, ankles?
Itchy legs and ankles can be caused by a variety of factors, including skin conditions, nerve disorders, internal diseases, and even psychological factors.
Common culprits include dry skin, eczema-습진, psoriasis-[건선, 마른버짐], and insect bites.
Less common but still possible causes include nerve disorders like Restless Leg Syndrome, and internal conditions like diabetes or kidney disease.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Skin Conditions:
Dry Skin (Xerosis):
Dry skin is a very common cause of itching, especially in the winter months or when exposed to dry climates.
Eczema (Dermatitis) 습진:
This inflammatory skin condition can cause itchy, dry, and cracked skin.
Psoriasis, 건선, 마른버짐:
Another inflammatory skin condition that can cause red, scaly patches and intense itching.
Insect Bites:
Bites from mosquitoes, fleas, or other insects can cause localized itching and irritation.
Allergic Reactions:
Allergic reactions to substances like plants, metals, or certain fabrics can cause itchy rashes.
Fungal Infections:
Athlete's foot, a fungal infection, can cause itching, especially between the toes and on the soles of the feet.
Internal Conditions:
Diabetes 당뇨:
High blood sugar levels can lead to nerve damage (diabetic neuropathy) and skin dryness, both of which can cause itching.
Kidney Disease 신장병 콩팥병:
Kidney disease can cause a buildup of waste products in the body, which can lead to itching.
Liver Disease 간 질환:
Liver disease can also cause itching due to a buildup of bile salts in the bloodstream.
Other Causes:
Nerve Disorders:
Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) can cause an irresistible urge to move the legs, often accompanied by itching or other uncomfortable sensations.
Sunburn:
Mild to severe sunburns can cause itching as the skin heals.

Some medications can cause itching as a side effect.
Psychological Factors:

Avoid scratching:
Scratching can damage the skin and worsen the itching.

Applying a cool, wet cloth to the itchy area can help soothe the skin.
Consider over-the-counter(처방없이 살수있는) remedies:
Topical corticosteroids or antihistamines can help relieve itching.
