Relief from itchy legs when walking briskly
by elia1806, Aug 25, 2008 09:50AM
To Everyone suffering the "itchy legs when exercising" problem- I followed kakos'' advice and she was absolutely right! You just have to take an antihistamine 30mins- 1hr before going for your run or walk and presto! No itchies!! I tried it the very next day after reading her suggestion in the forum and it was amazing! Yes, the condition we are suffering does have a name too- ' Exercise- induced Uticaria'. Thankyou so much to Kakos, who felt the need to suggest a solution to the problem- it was so thoughtful of you (since you yourself do not actually suffer from it). You are a gem!
I hope you all get the same relief as I have had (with no side effects)- my heart goes out to you all. Thankyou for sharing, Kind Regards, Elia

Itching on exercise may be due to a condition called Exercise urticaria characterized by itching, or hives on the legs, arms, chest or neck during or after exercise.
Sometimes the symptoms may be related to the ingestion of certain foods before exercise, in which case you should stop eating it for some duration and see if the hives stop. You should always exercise in the presence of a partner who is aware of your condition.
Most symptoms can be controlled by taking certain antihistamines prior to exercise as prescribed by your doctor. Even then if symptoms start, you should either slow down or stop exercise. Very rarely your doctor may advise to avoid certain types of exercise.
