Exercise rash: Hi there this could be an allergy due to exercise......an abnormal response right...or a rash due to heat and sweating. Use an anti allergy an hour pre work out. Wear breathable clothing and see if this still occurs....if yes you do need to see your Gp....if no...great

exercise urticaria is rare but exists....first ensure you are not getting a reaction from clothes/washing powders/creams
