OK Folks do a search on Pretibial Myxedemea. It is a Graves’ associated disease. It causes swelling, intense itching and scaling of the skin on the shin bones. Recommend you see a dermatologist to see if this may be the problem.
The doctor’s usually need to do a scrape or a small biopsy to confirm diagnosis. Over the counter meds do not help much. It usually takes a prescription steroid cream to make it go away.
This topic has been discussed a ton over the past three years. Use teh search and read what you can. Contact your doctor and ask to see a dermatologist.
Best of luck. I have it and when it itches I get teh cream right away and do not wait.
We are only a click away.
