One of the most common sensations a runner tends to experience is itchy legs. The sudden urge to scratch your legs, that too, on a severe intensity can be quite uncomfortable, annoying and embarrassing at the same time as well. The worst part is that no matter how much you try, the itching would only increase with time, making you scratch your legs endlessly. Often called runner’s itch, this sensation affects many people, not just runners. In addition to running, severe itching can also happen when doing intense cardio exercise and can spread beyond just itchy legs

A fat-free diet leads to this condition as the fat soluble nutrients are unavailable to the body. To get rid of runners itch, it is essential to include healthy fats in your diet. One should also eat foods that are anti-inflammatory as they heal excessive internal dryness.

Ghee is an excellent source of essential fatty acids that can induce hydration in the skin cells. Pure ghee is a good source of healthy fats that can keep the issue of dry skin at bay. To get rid of runner's itch, the best way to use coconut oil is by applying it on your legs.

Showering too frequently, for too long, or using very hot water may dry out your skin and cause itching. If you shower more than once per day, try cutting down to just one shower per day.

Being out of habit or staying sedentary too long also causes runner’s itch. If you’ve had a long layover between workouts sometimes the capillaries and arteries expand, causing a sensation that your brain reads as itchiness. If you can work through the discomfort, the itching should get better as you build up stamina.
