Itchy skin when exercising

I don't exercise often but when i do my skin starts to feel very very itchy all over my body. This happens everytime i exercise about 30 min. into jogging or running, is this normal? and what is causing this?

I can see why it would be my fat bc it's not used to it, but i'm not sure why it would cause a burning itchy feeling?

It isnt an itch that i can scratch it feels sort of like bugs crawling under my skin so i don't think it's my sweat, probably the blood flow but thanks for your response.

I am going through the same thing. I have always thought that the itchy feeling is when your working your muscles.
