EXTREMELY Itchy Skin!! Anyone else????

My skin, especially my calfs, and secondly my arms, are SO itchy that I can scratch and scratch and scratch until I bleed. It just itches so much and won't stop! I have a combination of 2 lotions, very bland (no harsh chemicals or irritating perfumes, safe for sensitive skin) - one petroleum based and one mineral oil based, and use on my legs everyday, 2x a day. I have switched to a very basic Dove bar soap (for sensitive skin, no harsh chemicals and irritating perfumes) for bathing/showering. I have even been trying a body wash by Eucerin, called Calming Body Wash, for itchy skin. To no avail! I try to wear long pants and long sleeves to keep myself from scratching so much.

Has anyone else experienced such intense itching??
