Exercise allergy: exercise in some people can cause increase release of histamines which can in turn trigger different symptoms such as itchy skin, nasal congestion or even asthma. You may try to take over the counter non-sedating antihistamines 1 hour prior to exercise or get evaluated by pulmonologist, otolaryngologist or allergist
