I confess, I had no idea that washing your legs in the shower was a topic of interest, let alone of internet outrage. But then, I always used to wash my legs in the shower, and simply assumed that everyone else did too. That was until I casually mentioned to my doctor that often in the wintertime the bottom half of my lower leg would sometimes get so dry and itchy that I would scratch it even unto blood.
"Do you wash your legs in the shower?" she asked.
"Yes, of course."
"Well don't. You don't need to."
And from that day forth, I haven't unless they are actually, visibly dirty. I still get dry skin in the winter but not, I believe, as frequently.
