I had similar problems. During a run, the backs
of my knees, inner thighs, my waist (where it
rubbed against my waistband) and anywhere else
even the mildest rubbing or chafing occurred, I
would get the most intense "ITCH" I've ever ex-
perienced. I found out it was due to allergies.
Taking an antihistamine (like Chlortrimeton or a
prescription allergy medicine like Zyrtec) an
hour before my run brought complete relief.
