Me too!!

[Itchy503]

I'm a 22 year old african male living in canada and i too have the same condition. I've tried for a while now to close in on the cause of it but have yet to do so. But i've found that the itching occurs mostly when i excercise following long inactive periods when i normally slouch around playing video games. One time i walked for about 20 minutes and once i reached my car the itching was so bad i had to pull over and scratch my whole upperbody. Then i found that if i just remained perfectly still and endured the itching for a minute or two it would go away. I have looked everywhere for the name of this condition but have found nothing.

Hi,

What you describe seems like sweat dermatitis or heat rash.

You sould try to avoid vigorous exercises that cause sweating or do all your gym training in an air conditioned environment.

You should try to keep the area dry and clean. Try some powder to absorb the sweat. Wear lose comfortable clothes.

Continue with the anti-histamine medications and apply calamine lotion at the sites of the itching.

If the symptoms are still persistent, consult your dermatologist and get a proper clinical evaluation done.

Let us know if you have any doubts and keep us posted on how you are doing.

Good luck.
