Do I have it?

Hi everyone,
I've just ran across this site in passing - I've never heard of KP before, but this site has taken my interest.
I have had a problem with my legs for some time now. They go through good patches and bad patches, but my problem is that they itch loads, and I end up with nasty red blotches on my legs, and they get really sore. I always thought my legs were just sensitive, or that it's caused by stress or something. Now i've found this site i'm not so sure. I don't think it is but thought I might aswel ask, because the introduction to the site is a bit confusing in it's explanation about what KP actually is, or looks like.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there....
Well... I'm not really too sure if u have KP.. because KP doesn't really itch.. and it doesn't make u sore. If u haven't seen a doctor yet, maybe it's a good idea that you go now.. just in case your blotches get worse!!

I am in no way a Dermatologist, but...

It sounds like what my little girl had on her legs...Eczema. She would get red splotches that would itch. I don't know if hers got sore, but I guess if you scratch enough it would. Eczema can get so bad that it can even ooze & get pretty nasty & infected. I would check with your Dermatologist to make sure, though.
