When ever i'm not taken an antihistamine like clariten or zyrtec (cetirizine) and i am walking fast like to class i get extremely itchy like in my thigh region ?

Itchy: You might have dermatographism which is a physical urticaria from rubbing the skin. Rubbing, pressure or scratching your skin can cause a hive or wheal to develop which can be intensely itchy Your doctor can test you for this if you are not taking antihistamines at the time you are examined. Antihistamines are an effective treatment of this condition
