Itching... WTF???

[pintoca]

Hi Bors,

I've noticed for the past couple of weeks that in the morning (after waking up) and after coming home from the gym I have this maddening itching in my upper body (arms, back, chest)...

This is something completely new, and as said, is localized to my upper body... I don't think it is an allergy, since I've been eating the same things during the past 5 months... also, no new soaps, detergents, or anything...

Also, it does not last long, I scratch furiously and then it's gone...

Anybody experience also itching while cutting? I figure it could be something related with my skin "stretching" or something... or maybe because of the increased blood irrigation?

Any ideas? Damn this is annoying...

Well i had that prob. when i started bulking, i think it was my skin stretching but if you're cutting but building muscle(even tho some say its impossible) then it is possible that your skin is stretching out.

I've had that happen to me, usually a little lotion with aloe + vitamin E helps takes care of it.

I noticed all the guys at the gym bathing in cream recently... since the weather has turned increasingly nasty around here (VERY COLD!!!)... so dryness could very well be a factor...

I guess I can steal some lotion from the wifey...


Thanks for the ideas!!!

It's winter out also and it's dry, put on some moisturizers with Vitamin E.

I also get severe itching in my upper body after I finish my workout and finish drinking my PWO shake (consisting of whey isolate, dextrose, maltodextrin).

Weather is fine here (sun is shining).

Your dry skin is just being stretched, and I don't appreciate you calling me a bor.
