Anyone else have hives, itching in the lower legs?
Awful. Not much help with this.
Hypo thyroid here, for many years.
Creams, do nothing. Had steroid injections, helped for about a year, but caused scarring and collapsed areas. The "hives" are back. :(
Anyone else have this? Thank you.

Don't want to alarm you or anything, but might be a good time to get your liver checked out in order to rule that out. I had that problem, and it turns out I had developed a mild case of Fatty Tissue liver Disease. I don't drink or smoke, but i ended up with it. I AM overweight, and now taking Zepbound in combination with exercise and diet restriction to FINALLY start losing a little bit of my additional weight. My Gastroenterologist recommended a diet.
It's slow going for me due to my Hypothyroidism and Hashis, but I AM seeing progress. (Non-alcoholic) FTLD can be reversed in the case of obesity. For habitual drinkers, quitting drinking is what does the trick.

Other than that, what I do is avoid trigger foods that make the itching go nuts: for me it's potatoes of all kinds. Yep. Chips, fries, all of it. I Also avoid american bread products with the occasional exception where I just give in but now I do so KNOWING the itching will come, so I can prepare.

Here is how I handle that. It takes anywhere from 2-10 hours for the offending consumption to make my itching kick off. I make sure to take allergy medicine (Claritin and Zyrtec are junk, don't bother).
I get ziploc bags andfill about half way with some ice cubes. I fill some water in and I will set these around my ankles, in bed, while on a towel. In the winter, I can just shock my feet and lower leg are with cold shower water, but in North Carolina it doesn't work for the warmer months.

And that's it. I hope this helps at least a little bit. I know what you're going through and it drives me crazy too!!!!! (((Hugs to you out there!))))

ALL THANKS TO DR. Aboda WITH HIS HERBAL PORTION I WAS COMPLETELY HEALED FROM BREAST CANCER. I'm here again to appreciate it. DR.Aboda God will always continue to bless you more abundantly, for the good works you have done in my life, I will always keep on writing good and posting my testimonies about you on the Internet, I’m W VALARY. from TEXAS . I was tested breast cancer positive, I saw a blog on how DR.Aboda cured people with his herbal portion, i did not believe in natural medicine but i just decided to give him a try, I contacted him, and explain my situation to him, few day later he sent me the medication after taking DR. Aboda herbal medicine for a few weeks. I went to the hospital for a check up so luckily my immune system improved, restored & was healed with his herbal portion, i am so happy. If you have any type of cancer problem or you are also infected with any kind of disease.
