Itchy legs when walking/running in the cold?

ayram

This is why I don't do it much in the winter (or at least it's a good excuse not to!)  Does anyone else get this?  My skin on my upper legs gets incredibly itchy...help?

Mine gets like that in the cold or even when it's windy. I'm guessing it's just the extra friction on our legs??

I wear long thicker pants and that does seem to help but it's annoying.

I have the same thing: It's called cholinergic urticaria. Try taking a Benadryl before running.
