get itchy? Every time I run, my thighs get so itchy and it drives me nuts! I wonder if it's from perspiring or if it's from the increase in blood flow...

Re: Runners: do your legs...
yes, mine do from time to time. I always thought it was from sweating, but also thought maybe the detergent or fabric of my shorts was irritating them. Never found the answer, but you are not alone!

I don't run, but when I workout, my legs get itchy too. And I don't know why either! It could be the sweat, like you said.

I always thought the itching was from the increased blood flow......it used to happen to me when my mom and I woudl go walking in the morning...especially in the winter

Yup its increased blood flow. I don't get the itching but i do get crazy twitching. Makes me feel even better after a good run.

I dont get an itch where I want to scratch it.....but after Im running.....and I stop suddenly to either drink some water or wipe off sweat.....my entire body tingles to a point where it kinda hurts.
Its sooo Odd?

the backs of my knees itched so much I wanted to rip the skin off. That only happened when I first started running.

I cant run from my house to the corner, but I walk. This has happened to me for years, I could never figure out why.
I itch them so much that I bruise myself. Its so gross.
