Can u have a reaction to your own sweat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: Your body will be tolerant to its own sweat . However sweat is also a bit of a culture medium and in the wrong circumstances may collect bacteria or toxins that can cause a reaction. If you think this is a problem then take a shower quickly after anything which makes you sweat.
