Same with the blood inside your body. During physical activity your cardiac output (how much blood your heart pumps per minute) increases five times the resting rate to approx. 25L/min.
Most of this blood during exercise goes to the muscles and skin - so the skin is getting 3,500ml of blood per minute as opposed to it's regular resting measurement of 1,000ml/min.
That's more than double the resting percentage.
If you are experiencing a rash of any kind that doesn't go away after a few hours after physical exercise, please see your doctor. Likewise if your itching is severe, or accompanied with other symptoms.
