Periodically Itching near ankles

2025-10-05 11:51:49
I get itching especially near ankles and head periodically every month or so for 3-4 days. I apply lot of moisturiser and oil but relief is temporary. Please advise. Can this be related to digestive problems?

Detailed history and clear images are required for proper diagnosis and management. Application of moisturizer is not a solution for itching. It just soothes the itching.
