This situation usually occurs more often in late spring and early autumn, mainly because the pores close due to seasonal changes, or when the temperature turns warmer in late spring and the pores are about to open. If you want to sweat but can't after exercise, you will feel itchy or tingling. Taking a hot bath or running to sweat will make you feel better. If you don't exercise regularly, you can take a hot bath or do more exercise.

After the relief, you should be able to return to exercise without the itchiness that you felt before. Repeat this process, and gradually your body's functions will be adjusted, and the itching problem will be solved.

When exercising, blood circulation accelerates and the body begins to sweat. However, because the subcutaneous capillaries in some parts of the body are narrow and the skin pores are tightened, the capillaries cannot bear the pressure brought by the accelerated blood flow and the pores cannot eliminate the sweat, which causes itching. If you feel itchy while exercising, stop and walk slowly to give the capillaries and pores time to expand. The itching will be relieved after a while. After the itching is relieved, exercise again and you will not feel as itchy as before. Repeat this and the itching will gradually disappear.

After reading the above, I believe you already know why running makes you itchy! If your body itches after running, it is probably your first time running. Your pores cannot sweat normally, so you will feel itchy. Try not to run too hard. There should be a buffer period. If you persist for a period of time, it will get better. If your itching is caused by other reasons, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.
