Itchiness!

Every time I take the aircast off (for example to put on or take off pants), I almost scratch my skin off.

Heh. Welcome to my world. I've found that Aveeno lotion really helps.

I used to have some of that around. I may have to get some more. But, does it help with all the hair-bent-the-wrong-way itchiness from leg hair?

Have you thought of shaving?

Hair growing back in and stubble introduces a whole new world of itchiness. I probably won't bother, it mostly isn't too bad during the day, I mostly don't notice the itchiness or it isn't itchy.

No no, don't shave! You're right; that does elevate the level of itch. For me, at least, the Aveeno does help with that itch. I've decided not to shave for awhile, but I have very very lightweight leg hair so it's not much of an issue.
