If other skin areas are not acting this way...only the legs, I'd suspect it is neuropathic.
Skin is replenished by omega-3 fats, and some nutrients, like zinc and Vit C, Vit A etc... so if you are low in these, it doesn't form strong tissue to protect you.
Dry skin may result from over washing with strong soaps which defat the skin and make it sensitive to touch. But if you don't have this on your arms or trunk, as well, I'd not suspect a nutrient problem.
