Itchy Legs post exercise

Following a run or a bike ride or brick- of longer duration in the heat, as soon as I stop- my legs will nearly drive me crazy with itching. I can shower and experience it still in the shower, and after.

From trying to find other sufferers what I come up with is that its common among new to exercise folks. I can't claim that one. This has happened to me for years in hot weather with longer out door runs.

I try to rinse the salt and dead skin cells (said to be the culprit by some of the research I've done) off my legs asap after a run, or even before a run of a brick.

Rubbing alcohol splashed on seems to help, and some low perfume lotion to hydrate.
Anyone else???
