Since you have long-term diabetes, persistent itching on your legs may be due to dry skin or nerve damage. You may try a more intensive moisturising cream or ointment containing urea, glycerine, or lactic acid, as these help hydrate and soothe dry skin. If the itching persists, please see your doctor to rule out other underlying causes, such as fungal infections or neuropathy.

  1. Consider using a moisturizing lotion with urea or lactic acid, such as Eucerin or AmLactin, to help relieve itching and hydrate the skin.

  2. If the itching persists, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment options.
