:angel: I love you guys so much, and I know what you are all going through, it stinks.
I am 16 years old and this exact same problem started happening in about November, however it was very small. Every time I would start to do something active that made me sweat at all, I would get rather small prickly feelings on the back of my neck.
Now in January the problem has drastically changed within the matter of a few months. Whenever my body is heated in any way, I get prickly feelings from the back of my neck, to my face, chest and my stomach, to my thighs and butt, and it has even progressed to my fingers. Itching the prickly areas does not make it go away, but it usually settles after about 2 minutes (2 minutes of gettin hot enough to fully sweat, or 2 minutes of cooling down) It Stinks!:mad:
Do you guys think sitting in a sauna every day for a week or so would help? I think it might open up the pores on your body, allowing your sweat and heat to progressively exit your body in an easier fashion. Just a thought.
Please Respond, Connor

I read somewhere that taking Niacin got rid of this for somebody. I believe he took 1g first thing in the morning and then layed in a cold bath. He did this for 4 days which cured him. I haven't seen this "Niacin cure" documented anywhere else however. I even read that taking Niacin in such a dosage could be harmful to the liver.
I tried taking 500mg one evening and it turned me bright red all over and I felt like I was on fire, I had to go outside in my pants (underwear). Havn't noticed any relief yet, might try again tomorow night. Just something to think about (Niacin! not me in my pants).

Dry skin causes this feeling, I take a lot of hot showers so my skin becomes dry in the winter time and so if I start sweating right afterwards it'll feel like needles poking at my body. I noticed that it gets worse the longer you go without sweating, so if I workout daily and break a sweat it never really bothers me.

You need to believe me, I used to have this a few years ago, i read this same board, and i revisited because i felt bad for people who have the thing that used to piss me off.
1. You have got to sweat, keep those pores open, or they will close up and itch when you try to reopen them.
2. Stay out of the cold when you can, if you get too used to the cold, sudden heat will get you itching.
3. Use a good moisurizer.
4. Using a humidifier will help keep your pores open and your skin moist.
5. You have to make up your mind that somehow or the other, you are going to get that toxic sweat out, its gonna hurt, personally, my treatment felt more like a million needles poking me:mad: , but itching is the best way to descibe it to non-sufferers.
6. If you cant get rid of it in the winter, It will be gone in the summer anyway. I Promise.:jester:

Its some type of allergic reaction ive read, Allergy medicine i forget which kind can block the histamine which causes the reaction.
I would get extremtly red on my mid section and itchy when i had a steam shower,someteims when i did cardio. Lately i havent had this problem at all, except for the other day in the steam shower.
It might have been that i sucked up the intense itchyness and did my cardio/weights that its alot better now. Ive been taking milk thistle for liver detox not sure if this could have helped at all, as maybe toxins could have created this type of reaction

Add one more to the population of itchville. I too have this problem, and I am going to try the route of the Iron defficiency. I will keep you posted, as I have a hunch that Iron supplements could help.

hi guys, well as every one else i am also glad there are so many with the same problem as me, i may have a solution for you or more so some gude lines for you to follow,
i first had the ichy hot feeling when i was about 15-16 but now resently it is back, my girlfriend thinks im mad when i have an attack and start rubbing my back along the carpet in a mad frensy of frustration,
solution.....
if you follow all thease hints it might work, it has for me
to much salt in your diet.
drink the daily recomendations of water.
cod liver oil will incurage healthy sweat paus
take multy vitimins as you maybe lacking in somthing
cut down on smokeing, (i dont know how many of you with this problem smoke
but i have found that there are some cemicals in cigarets wich may agrivate your sweat paus)
regular exersise can also help as it will incurage healthy swetting.
basicaly the reserch i have done on this issue is all to do with haveing a healthy life style, and you know what????
it worked for me!!
let me know if anyone follows this with sucsess or if you do all thease things anyway and still have the same problem.
