Exclamation Terrible Skin itching

Hello,

I am 19 years old male, and I live in Toronto. I have a problem with my skin, it starts to itch, whenever I go near warm places, or when wearing a jacket and I get warm, and especially when I do any physical activity.

Well this started about 1.5 - 2years ago. I first discovered it when I was running on a treadmill and I would get this itching sensation all over my back, my chest and my head. I didn't actually feel like scratching on that area, even if I did scratch it wouldn’t help. It was like millions of small needles pushing on those areas gently (not so hard). I really don’t know how to describe it. Anyways, this is really uncomfortable; this has stopped me from working out and staying in shape.

I think that it might be ‘prickly heat’ but i am not sure.

Re: Terrible Skin itching

Hi Jason,

could be a condition called cholinergic urticaria, it is like an allergy to sweating or so I've read on a forum post. Try typing it in the search and see if it sounds like you.

best wishes
M.B

Re: Terrible Skin itching

Well, usually the Skin Problem has proved to be too tricky & it has always created much troubles & tortures for the Patients.
The fact is Each skin rash has so many complicated symptons & sufferings that the Problem & understanding the root cause as well as right treatment is either confused or lost or experimented.

Either People are not interested to listen about your Skin Problems or they pass on the Buck by advising to go for Skin Specialists. Again in stead of right treatment, either you are put to experimental treatments or asked to go for a Number of tests. Both the way If you are lucky you are geting some relief for sheer coincidence that experiments & disease were matching.

Its a fact that 85 % of Skin Problems are manifestation of some or the other Allergy, 5 % are due to Fungus & remaining could be any thing. So better get the Allergy treatment with Anti fungus topical & Oral Medicines like Sporanox.

Selun Shamoo or any Shampoo with 2.5 % Selenium Sulphide, puting all over body can prove to be good Anti fungul treatment if continued for 4 weeks.
Any good Anti Hitamines or Anti Allergy Medicines are also worth taking to see you have treated the Allergy, While most important is One must find out about the particular thing that each respective patient might have been allergic to. Unless one avoids the Allergen, he would continue to suffer.

Plus, One must take some Vitamin C rich Fruits & Vegetables, Anti Oxidents like Orange Juice, Some Garlic & other natural foods rich in Vitamins & Minerals, while keeping care of cleanliness & hygin of body.

I do wish relief to all, suffering from Skin Problems ( A whole lot suffers ) & like them to be with healthier smiles. Just "Takecare"
