Sometimes my skin itch after workin out why is that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dry skin: Typically we sweat during our workout, and the sweat on dry skin tends to cause an itch reaction. Another reason is that when we exercise our blood vessels near the skin get more engorged to expel body heat to cool down. As a result, our skin is put on slight stretch. This stretch also incites the urge to itch.
