Itching of the calves in summer is considered to be due to prickly heat, eczema, contact dermatitis and other causes.
1. Prickly heat: when in summer, due to the hotter weather, it will lead to a lot of sweat on the legs. If not cleaned in time, it will lead to the sweat blocking the sweat ducts, so that the other sweat is retained in the skin, causing itchy calves.
2. Eczema: If you eat crabs, shrimp, scallops and other foods containing xenoproteins in the summer, it will lead to a decrease in the processing function of the liver for xenoproteins, thus triggering a metabolic reaction that will cause itchy symptoms on the calves.
3. Contact dermatitis: summer due to the heat, will often wear shorts, skirts and other clothing that expose the calves, if at this time legs in contact with chemicals, such as paint, dyes, etc., will lead to the destruction of the skin barrier, which will cause damage to the skin mucous membranes and the surrounding tissues, triggering contact dermatitis leading to itching symptoms.
Summer calf itching, there may be other reasons, should go to the hospital to improve the examination, clear cause symptomatic treatment.
