Hi I can kinda elate to yu i dn knowf this what you are talng about,but i will give it a whirl
Whenever i used to get real hot when i was young in gym calss andstuff my skin used to itch too..kinda like i am allergic to my own sweat. It got so annoying i would try not to do anything that would make me sweat...even now i cant think of the last time i went to go work out or anything because i didnt like that feeling. If this is what yo are talking about you are not alone..although i cant help you and tell u what it is i can say i itch too
Hope that helped a lil

I often wondered why after a workout, a bike ride, sunning, or even just an overly hot shower, my body itches tremendously. After the shower it is my chest that usually itches,, and after a workout, and bike rides, it is usually my legs majorly and slightly my scalp. I have long been told that it is the toxins being released thru your pores,,,,,and Ive also been told that it is nothing more that your nerve endings being more stimulated.
