Why do my legs get irritated/itchy/rashy when running?

Question

Whenever I run on the treadmill or ground I can never run for a long time because my legs get itchy/rashy/irritated. However, when I run on the elliptical this does not occur.

Answer 1

This happens to me a lot and i put lotion on it to make it cool and sometimes i actually put ice. If you shave a lot and shave real hard then that's probably the problem.So I would suggest to try different kinds of lotions and see which one cures it, or try ice. It works for my legs.
