Does itchy skin correlate with Crohn's?

So my shins have been itching like crazy on and off for a few months. My shins almost look like it's razor burn. However, I've went periods not shaving that area and it still is going on. I moisturize daily, too.

Now it's getting much worse and spreading. Now my thighs itch, too. No bumps or rashes (that I can see). It becomes bright red after scratching, obviously. My face has been itching slightly time to time and my feet have only a couple of times. My legs are unbearable though.

Could this be related to Crohn's? I see my GI Tuesday, but I feel stupid bringing it up. I'm currently on Humira (which I'm late on), Bentyl, and Vitamin D supplements. I don't know what could be causing this. Thanks!

I don't know is if it's related to Crohn's but I too seem to always be itchy somewhere on my body. I always thought it was allergies.

Do you use anything to soothe the itch...creams/ lotions?

I just used some Hydrocortisone, but they're still itching. I was thinking about trying Zyrtec or something. It probably is allergies.

Sometimes calendula gel works for me...has a cooling effect which is nice.
