SBMac03 Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 I currently sit here while laying in bed writing this. I have never been the running type. I can maybe run a mile or two at the gym but never outside. When I run I break out all over my body and start to get really itchy. Then O stsrt focusing more on itching myself than actually running. I would like to stsrt running as I have dealt with depression for a very long time. I need to find a way to cope with my anxiety and keep me busy and active while my boyfriend is away in rehab. He loves to work out and I think it would be something very healthy for us to both do together as we both struggle with many things. Has anyone heard or know why I break out and itch so much when i run? Will this stop the more I run? If it wasn't for this I probably would be running a lot more but it just gets so annoying and keeps me from running because I get so distracted. HELP.

Jeshi Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Do you get hives when you run? Look up exercise-induced Urticaria or Exercise-induced Allergy. Keep a food journal and see if certain foods make the itchiness worse (or if there are foods that don't trigger itchiness).

Jeshi Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Oh, I also found out that fabric softener was making me itchy like I chicken pox. I was so itchy, I even jokingly nick-named it IPS: itchy panda syndrome. When I started working out, I found a bunch of moisture-wicking pants at 90% clearance. Reading online, I found out you should not use fabric softener with "performance fabrics" as the fabric softener clogs the "pores" of the moisture-wicking fabric. I'm pretty lazy when it comes to sorting laundry and pretty soon just stopped using fabric softener. A year later, I realize the fabric softener had made my skin itchy when I used a dryer sheet.
