Me to but never new why. I always thought it was from the rsd itself.
That is nice to know. Thanks.

I've been getting itching this past few months too, on the top of my foot and in between a couple of my toes. It typically follows swelling and hot burning episodes. I've been using Arica gel and it really calms it down. It can be picked up at any health store.

I have it parts of my body that are exposed often. Legs and arms (shorts and t shirts).
It is rsd related according to Dr K.
Try using something like Eucerin, it's VERY soothing.
If you need something stronger, get something with cortisone in it, Aveeno just came out with a cream with cortisone, it's very nice.
(I'm getting over an attack from a spider, I have more than 100 bites, on my right calf.
So, I've just been through the whole steroid thing, with lots of anti itch lotion. I got lots of hives, and that has never really happened to me before..

Hope that helps, stop scratching, or you'll make permanent spots!
Rubbing a good cream or lotion will gently relieve the itch! I've got a couple nasty little scars from this...
(There goes my career as a leg model!)
