Anyone else get this? Months after mild injuries sustained from riding past and through brambles and other summer flora I have itchy shins and arms. I still have red marks on my arms and they itch sometimes. We're all used to the pock marked shins that you can expect as a mtber and I have them as well but they're itchy as well and still draw blood and then scab over when I scratch them. General skin moisturiser doesn't make them any better, maybe I have fleas ๐Ÿ˜• ๐Ÿ™‚

Nah it won't be fleas...

More likely scabies.

I second the Sudocrem - anti-septic and soothing. Perfect ๐Ÿ˜†
