Allergic to my own sweat?

mrtentaclenun

Is it possible to be allergic to your own sweat? Whenever I work out and sweat, my skin gets super super itchy wherever I was sweating ( except for my armpits, strange?) my stomach gets it the worst, often times breaking out in itchy red bumps and wherever it itches gets red as well. Has anyone else had experience with this? Is there a lotion I can use to prevent it? Something I'm eating possibly? It's kind of annoying and just wanted to hear from others if its possible/happens to them/what can I do. Thanks

Do you wear clothing when you exercise? Maybe it's that?

This happens to me too, especially when I start off cold and start sweating really quickly after this. It used to happen to me when I was nervous, my feet would sweat and itch really badly (I was learning to drive standard and it made me nervous). No idea what causes it, but wanted you to know you are not alone

It hasn't really happened to me lately...wonder if its the change in my diet (gluten free for 2 months).

I get really itchy when I start sweating also. I have determined that it is my pores opening up so quickly. But the more frequently I work out, the less it itches. I didn't notice it decreasing until I wasn't itchy today and was still dripping LOL
