itching help

[xpoint9]

in the gym ,when i start on the treadmills my body starts to itch like crazy, like tiny needles poking me everywhere, on my back, stomach, head, face and arms.

this starts to happen when i go on the treadmill or some other exercise in gym. it also happens when i'm in the store and i suddenly start to feel hot.

but when i stay longer on the treadmill or anywhere else, it goes away in like 2 mins.

I talked to many doctors, they only gave me pills and it hasnt worked yet. so i was wondering if anyone here has had a similer problem, and can help me out.

o and plese let me know where i can find the answere to this, like a forum or something.

thanks!


(o yea can this have anything to do with sweating?)

You could try post on Finertia (http://www.finertia.com/).

Good question, that's what I want to know; happens to me, too, the exact same thing when I am working out on a treadmill... if I scratch my skin once it starts to itch, it makes it a thousand times worse; if I grit my teeth, ignore it [yeah right, lol!] and continue on, yes, it goes away.

Interested to know what this phenomenen is! :)

Edited to add: I very much doubt this is to do with sweating; this happens far before I would even begin to sweat....

It happens wheN i'm nervous and sweating sometimes.

dont worry, it's because the equipment was not cleaned properly.
all equipment in a gym should be cleaned using that white chalk, if not. people will get rashes.
report it to your gym owner.
And it is from sweat, other people's sweat

I have exactly the same symptom sometimes, especially when there's an obvious change in temperature: like in the winter time u walk from outside to a room, it happens mostly on my upper bodies from chest to head. Very annoying. I think it's related to dry skin, but don't count on me.

I have somewhat dry skin but I never bother with lotion and stuff. You should look into that if it keeps giving you trouble

[kornstar369]

i think its when celulite moves around rapidly ex. from jumping, running....

Is it just in the winter?

Winter dryness is damn annoying!

I get the exact same thing, and only in the winter. Go shovel some snow, walk inside and BAM...needles all over my back.

It's also happened at some overly warm retail stores, and when I exert myself lightly at home.

It seems that a REAL sweat doesn't do it, but a light sweat due to a little exertion or quick change in temp really triggers it.

I would like to hear from an expert about possible cures!!!!

I tried i went to specialist and they just kept giving me pills like acutane (which has MANY! side effects) i just quit with the doctors on this. i have an appointment with a dermatologist in 4 MONTHS!! i hope that doctors knows whats wrong.

I sometimes get that when I'm nervous (I think). Haven't had it lately....

Today, I got it when I was laughing in a tense moment. :|

Use Aloe Vera

Works for all skin irritations.

[frogger]

Does it matter what you're wearing? When exerting yourself when you're in the buff do you get the itch too?

did it work for you? and where can i get it from?

I get the same thing when I start working out. I moisturize before hand as well, and it doesn't help. It does go away after about 2-7 minutes. Temperature change does play a factor, but doesn't seem to be the main cause. (I don't think)

I get very itchy skin in the winter, particularily on my calves and my lower arms. I've found Gold Bond body lotion to be the most effective. Yes, it's more expensive than other lotions, but it works wonders (for me at least, YMMV).

Definitely not hives. Some fabrics seem to trigger it more than others, but I'm not sure if it's due to:

- breathability
- soap/fabric softener on material
- cleanliness
- bad karma

[xpoint9]

this problem makes me not go work out. i hate it. hope there's someone here who has had this problem and has treated it.
n yea i think the dry skin might be the cause of this.
