Hi there Domieniqueer, I do experienced it..all the time...whenever I exercise.There are lots of reason behind this...due to dry skin, irritations,allergies that is already present.I have got allergies so i'm actually avoiding overdoing it as I might get exercise-induced anaphylaxis. http://sportsmedicine.about.com/od/tipsandtricks/a/itching.htm

Hi, domieniqueer. I have never experienced this before. But when I walk on the track at the park, my hands will itch. They feel very tight. The insides of my palms will feel itchy. I wonder what is the cause of this. Do you sweat a lot when you are exercising? Maybe this could be the cause of why you are always itching.

I think it has more to the bloodflow coming to the skin when you exercise and it causes it to be itchy.

Base on my experience, when my skin is dry and perspiration starts to get out of my skin, i tend to get itch maybe because of the salt content that perspiration have. That is my opinion on how come I get itchy when doing some exercise :D

I am not an exercising person. I did use the morning walker though one of the days and yes I had this feeling of something crawling in my thighs and after that I have just packed it and dumped it. Infact I felt my head swing as soon as I got up.
