Itchy legs
I've noticed that everytime I run,jog or walk in the morning when there is a chilly breeze, my legs get really itchy to the point that I can't stand it. I go home and I scratch till my legs are raw and red. I put water on it and it helps but not alot. Is there any thing I can do to prevent this? What is it? and is there any medication I can take to help the itching? Also, does that happen to a lot of people or is this just me? Thanks! I really appreciate it.

I have this problem when i run and havent run for a while, my coach just told me that its the blood rushing to the surface and nothing to worry about, but it does itch like no other!

The way you describe the itching....I think you might have an actual genuine problem (not mere dry skin). Make an appointment with a dermatologist and let them know about the intense itching. No, it isn't normal.

If you have recently applied lotion and then run, this can also cause the itchy feeling, but that normally occurs during hot weather, not chilly.
I have to agree with the other responses, i think your skin may be a little dried out so it reacts to the cold. Moisturize and use lotion, but not right before you run.
good luck <3

it's dry skin. Moisturize on a regular basis. I've found Johnson and Johnson's soft lotion works really well especially because I have sensitive skin. However anything will really do.
If you still have the problem after using moisturizer bought from the store talk to your doctor. It might be a bit more serious like something like eczema; they'll be able to give you a stronger cream.

Your skin sounds like it's being really sensitive to the temperature, maybe you can start putting some unscented lotion every day on your legs. Maybe when your legs are smooth, you'll notice that the itching makes it unattractive and you can enjoy your new smooth legs. xD
I also found that baby oil works great for your skin.
