After jogging, many people feel itchy legs and thighs, here is how to reduce this condition.

Symptoms of jogging itch

- The most common symptom is itching in the thighs and legs, often with a tickling or prickling sensation under the skin.

- In some cases, skin may become red or develop a rash.

- Feeling tingling in the legs when running.

- Mild burning sensation may be accompanied by itching.

- Although rare, mild swelling may occur in areas of severe itching.

These symptoms usually appear within a few minutes of running and may last for a while after exercise. They tend to subside as the body gets used to the exercise.

How to treat runner's itch?

Drink enough water: Drinking water before, during, and after running can help keep your skin hydrated and reduce itching.

Moisturize regularly: Applying moisturizer before running can help keep your skin hydrated and reduce friction that can cause itching while running.

Use aloe vera gel: According to a study published in the Journal of Caring Sciences, aloe vera gel can help relieve itching. So, to get rid of itchy feet, apply aloe vera gel directly to the affected area.

Take an antihistamine: If you suspect that histamine release is causing your itching, take an over-the-counter antihistamine before you run. However, consult your doctor before using it.

Cool down: If the itching gets worse as you run, you should rest to cool down. Walking for a few minutes to cool down your body temperature will help relieve the itching.

Wear breathable clothing: Tight, non-breathable clothing can trap sweat and heat against the skin, making itching worse. Wearing loose, moisture-wicking fabrics can help minimize discomfort by allowing the skin to breathe and reducing friction.

Running itch is a common condition that usually doesn’t affect runners, and is caused primarily by increased blood flow and changes in body temperature during exercise. While it can be uncomfortable, it usually subsides as your body adjusts to regular physical activity. By staying hydrated, moisturizing, and wearing the right clothing, you can manage and reduce symptoms of running itch.
