It's not the clothing. I work out in a sports bra and my stomach and back still get itchy.

Is it the start of heat rash maybe? Does it happen as you start to really exert yourself?

It only happens to me when I run, not any other form of exercise. And it's usually when I haven't run in a while and then go for it. It's really awful though and sometimes I just have to stop because it's so unbearably itchy 😫

Heat related urticaria maybe? My mum gets cold urticaria - intense itching on her hands when they come into contact with cold air. Apparently you can get it from heat too.

I don't think it's a heat rash. It passes pretty soon after I stop working out. It's awful. Half the time I want to stop working out and just scratch myself 😅.

Menopause

Yes, I had this when I first started running, it’s v common apparently. It passed once I’d been running regularly for a few weeks.

I get this sometimes from sweat. It's almost like an allergy.

My legs! Every time I'm fast walking or running.
It's unbearable when running as I can't mange to scratch them!

Heat induced uticaria, try an antihistamine before working out

Yes it’s sweat. It makes me itch like mad

Yes I assumed it was the sweat

Yes! It drives me crazy. I have been assuming it was peri-meno creeping up on me.
