This happens to me almost every time i excercise. Help?

Question

Usually I don't see the rash cause I'm wearin pants but I always get super itchy  there on my legs to the point that I have to get off the treadmill. Today after 10 mins on the treadmill out of nowhere I started itching so much that I had to get off. When I got off, I seen this on both of my legs at the same spot. Itchy and warm to the touch. I got scared so I went home. The rash is still kind of there now. (This happened like 20 mins ago) 
What is this? Does this happen to anyone else, or should I be worried? I don't sweat on my legs... Just my back sweats...

Answer

A lot of times it wont look like dry skin. When i first found out i had eczema it came out of nowhere. Literally i was fine and within five minutes i was scratching so bad and my legs looked like had chicken pox. It doesnt always look like that though... usually i only get it on my hands anymore. While i was pregnant i got it on the inside of my elbow and it looked like a severe burn. Eczema itch is the worst. Just keep moisturizing and you should be good. Things like sweating and stress can bring it on out of nowhere

Answer

I have the same issue. It is eczema. Basically your sweat makes your immune system overreact and causes it to itch. Best way to deal with it is keep a towel handy when you exercise to wipe away excess sweat and moisturize every day after your shower. Good luck!

This happened to me a lot when I first started working out. I still don't know exactly what caused it, but I started using unscented lotion and sensitive skin body wash and it seemed to help a lot. I wonder if the increased blood flow from exercise makes your skin more sensitive to certain things like perfume etc.?

Answer

I get this also! like to the point that I feel like scratching my skin Apart. I have heard its something to do with poor circulation or blood flow.. but we aren't doctors! I think it goes away the more often you exercise.. try and make sure you do a good warm up to get the blood flowing maybe

Answer

Do you have sensitive skin? Wondering if perhaps you are using a lotion there that your skin is reacting to.
