Why do I get itchy when I sweat after working out?

Every time, I work out or doing something that requires me moving for a long time. I start sweating (duh), then I start itchy. Is there a medical condition for what I have is it normal?

Answer #1

probably mainly because you sweat a lot, and sweat is water and salt, the salt sits on the surface of your skin and is irritating when it dries…

Answer #2

It means you are getting in shape. Its not a bad thing.

Answer #3

Are you serious?!?

Answer #4

Answer #5

thats what our coaches said.

Answer #6

hmm i think he meant cos you’re pushing yourself past your normal threshold, not necessarily the actual reason why you itch after…

did someone actually ask why their itching? or ask why they’re sweating so much?

Answer #7

we were too tired… too in shape lol

Answer #8

because your muscles are cooling down and the sodium from your body sits on the surface of your skin which irritates it.
