Itching while running?
Has this happened to anyone? It only happens to me when I run. I get so itchy!!! My legs, sides, chest etc.
I haven't switched detergents or lotion or started any new medications or anything. I don't know what it could be!
Re: Itching while running?
It happens to me too! I usually lube up with Lubriderm or some other thick lotion before going out. It's kinda gross, but it helps.
When I get itchy I think it's dry skin related. It feels weird though because my skin will be moist (sweat) and still itchy, so it's a different kind of itch. (Or I'm crazy. Good possibility.)
I even find it happens in the gym. I think it's because I lotion in the morning and hit the gym after work (long day at the office in a dry building).
Yes,I'm smiling...I'm a marathoner!

You could have this:

I get it occasionally in cold weather. I take an Allegra before I exercise if I think I'm going to get it that day, or I carry one with me. Of course, YMMV and talk to your doctor if you are concerned.

I had Pityriasis rosea (it's a rash caused by a virus) once and I was really itchy after running. Has this always happened or is it a new thing?
What does YMMV mean?
Literally, your mileage may vary.
Forum speak, your results may vary.
I HATE THIS FEELING! I always attributed it to the extra capillary blood flow when I would start back to running after taking time off. I haven't had it in a while because I run consistently, but it might stir up a little once I get back outside in the warmer weather. Work through it and your body will adjust.
I like the idea of exercise uticaria too..
