Actually the major symptom of tanning bed burn is itching.  It could also be a sun rash or a rash from the tanning bed cleaner.

Have you been sweatting a lot?  Could be heat rash.\nIf so wipe it with rubbing alcahol and sleep by the fan.

this could be caused because of the friction[rubbing of thighs when walking], when there is sweat in the area. actually, when you have some antihistamines, it does'nt happen, .. it's probably an allergic reaction, because of the sweat or something.

Most itchy skin (without any rashes, bumps or lesions) is caused simply by dryness.  If you don't already, use a moisturizer daily.  If you do and are still dry, find a different moisturizer.  If the dryness continues to be a problem, see a doctor to rule out illness and a dermatologist for some prescription moisturizer.

There could be an allergen in your bed linens. Have you done any changes before you started itching? Changed soaps, used a different type of sheet? (polyester vs satin) Do you have an animal, there may be some dirt or dander under the blankets that may be causing you to itch. A difference in bath soap can also do it. Night time is when your new skin grows. If all the above is no, then you may want to check with a doctor, there are medical conditions out there to cause the itching feeling of a leg.

If you sleep alone and have no pets nor do you have an insect infestation, you are scratching yourself in your sleep.  It's not really to uncommon, especially if you have dry skin.  Try putting a heavy cream (not lotion) on your arms before going to bed at night to hydrate your skin.  It might itch enough that you scratch yourself without waking up.\n\nI doubt that it's demons as some people say.  Those who think that tend to be a bit, ahem, worrisome.

Could be dry skin or allergic reaction to something.  Try using a good lotion daily.  I've found Oil of Olay Quench to do very well on dry skin.

It sounds like a problem with your diet. I hope the dermatologist has some answers for you.

You could have a skin condition called "eczema".That would explain the itching and dryness.That might explain the problem with the sweat too.The scaly skin could be so thick that it's covering your pores/effecting your sweat glands somehow.

Actually, the sensation of itching is nothing more than energy being transferred through that area of your body. Two things were happening while you were jogging.\n\n1.Your feet and legs were absorbing impact energy from the act of running. This is no different from hitting the palm of your hand against the table top over and over again. The atoms in your hand swell from the absorbed energy and then once you stop hitting the table, slowly release that energy in an attempt to get back to their normal existing ground state. the transferring or processing of that absorbed energy will feel like itching which is really just a lesser degree of pain.\n\n2.Your legs were also releasing stored energy throughout your leg muscles during your run, adding to the absorbed energy from running. \n\nThis is also why a sunburn will itch like crazy, absorbed solar energy is finding a way out of your body.\n\nAs your body cools down the itching may get worse, because cooling will close your pores, trapping the heat.\n\nHope this helps

Q. What causes the skin to itch after dialyzing?\n\nA. Itching is a common complaint of patients with kidney disease. Among those requiring dialysis, 40-90 percent experience this symptom. The cause is unknown, but it is likely due to a combination of factors as indicated by the variability in symptoms and response to therapy. Possible contributing agents include dry skin, high blood levels of vitamin A, calcium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone, beta2-microglobin and increased histamine levels in the skin. Additionally, other disorders such as the underlying cause of the patient's renal failure, allergies, gallbladder disease and cancers may be the source of itching in persons with kidney disease.\n\n \n\nThe onset, course and response to treatment are variable. While a majority of patients first experience this symptom after the initiation of dialysis, some patients may begin to itch before reaching end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Itching occurs equally often among patients dialyzing by hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis (PD). The itching may be localized to one area of the body or generalized. The itching may be constant or intermittent. Itching\n\nItching is a common complaint among dialysis patients, although not all patients are troubled by it. While no one knows the exact cause(s), itching may be brought about by:\n# Dry skin\n# High Phosphorus Levels\n# Allergic Reactions\n# High Blood Levels of Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)\n\nAmong dialysis patients, itching is most often caused by dry skin. It occurs because the skin is not making enough oil to moisturize itself. It is important to keep the skin clean and moisturized. It may help to use a moisturizing soap when you bathe, to apply unscented body oil, and to use body lotions.\n\nAnother factor related to itching may be your diet. In your blood, phosphorus combines with calcium to form phosphorus-calcium products. Some of these phosphorus-calcium products are excreted through your skin and this may cause you to itch. The best way to avoid this is to keep your phosphorus level normal. Maintain your dialysis diet and take phosphorus binders with each meal or large snack as directed.\n\nAllergic reactions to the dialyzer, blood tubing or medications may occur during the hemodialysis treatment. Keep a record of how you feel during your treatment. Maintaining such a log may help you to pinpoint the causes of your itching. Discuss how you feel with your doctor or nurse. There are medications available that may help you.\n\nA blood test can tell if you have a high level of parathyroid hormone (PTH). PTH levels are often elevated in dialysis patients due mainly to a decreased calcium level and an increased phosphorus level. This condition stimulates the parathyroid gland to secrete excessive hormones. This can lead to bone disease. Symptoms may or may not occur. If symptoms appear, the bone disease may already be severe. The most common symptoms are bone pain, joint discomfort and itching. Treatment includes controlling calcium and phosphorus levels with phosphate binders and taking Vitamin D. \n\nhttp://www.aakp.org/AAKP/RenalifeArt/2003/itchyskin.htm\nhttp://kidney.niddk.nih.gov/kudiseases/pubs/hemodialysis/\nhttp://www.davita.com/articles/dialysis/index.shtml?id=\nhttp://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-5945/5/7\nhttp://www.rdoctor.com\nhttp://www.kidneypatientnews.org/kpt7.htm\nhttp://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=47\nhttp://www.symptomat.com\nhttp://www.mayoclinic.com/health/metabolic%20syndrome/DS005\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/metabolicsyndromex.htm\nhttp://www.medicinenet.com/metabolic_syndrome/article.ht

Don't put on any moisturizers on your skin or suntan lotion.  This traps in heat.  Eat small meals, not large meals.  Do not suntan.  And above all, avoid heat in all forms, no saunas, really hot baths, sitting under potlights, standing by the stove, etc.  Avoid alcohol.\nKeep a water spray bottle and mist your skin with water whenever your skin becomes hot.  You should get your thyroid checked too.  I had hotflashes for two years and it was my skin that had become damaged and thinned from working in a foundry.  Good luck, they are horrible.

Depending on what you used to tan with it very well could be simply a blocked pore.  Considering that it doesn't itch that is my answer.

From the link below:\n\nThe average human body is covered by about 20 square feet (2 square meters) of skin. Skin is the only organ that is constantly exposed to potential irritation. And, with so many things coming into contact with your skin daily, you're bound to get an itch or two. Serious itching can be caused by allergies, disease, emotions and infections, but let's take a look at what causes the common itches that aggravate you everyday. \nItching, also known as pruritus, starts with some kind of external stimuli, including bugs, dust, clothing fibers and hair. Like tickling, itching is a built-in defense mechanism that alerts your body to the potential of being harmed. In this case, it might be the potential of being bit by a bug. \n\nWhen the stimuli lands on your skin, it may not bother you at first, but soon it will begin to rub back and forth across your skin. Once the hair or dust scratches your skin's surface layer, receptors in the dermis of the skin will become irritated. In a split second, these receptors send a signal through fibers in the skin to your spinal cord and then up to the cerebral cortex in your brain. \n\nThe same fibers that send itching signals are also used to send pain signals to the brain, which once led some scientists to believe that itching was a form of light pain. That notion has since been dispelled by research, which showed that pain and itching elicit opposite responses. Pain causes us to withdraw and itching causes us to scratch. \n\nAs soon as we feel an itch, our first natural response is to scratch the spot of the itch with our fingernails. The reason for this response is simple -- we want to remove the irritant as soon as possible. Once you've scratched the area of irritation, you are likely to feel some relief. When your brain realizes that you've scratched away the irritant, the signal being sent to your brain that you have an itch is interrupted and therefore no longer recognized by the brain. \n\nEven if you don't remove the irritant, scratching will at least cause pain and divert your attention away from the itching. The irritant that caused the itching is very small, maybe only a few microns in length, so it disturbs only a few nerve endings. When you use your fingernail to scratch the spot where the irritant is, you not only remove the irritant but you irritate a lot more nerve endings than the irritant.

What you might have is a skin condition called Hives.  To best treat it, focus on making yourself feel better because its caused by nerves.  Stop stressing about things you really can't change.  I have found chocolate to help.

This problem could be caused by an infection.\nThis could also be because your hot and sweater and the sweat dripping is causing it itch considering it's pretty much trapped or it be the total opposite that you may have really dry skin and need to apply a fragrance free and oil free body cream there sparingly. \nMake sure that your wiping everything off, but not to hard to irrate your skin.\nIf these do not work the best thing for you to do is to see a doctor (I'm sure they hear it all anyway) and they could probably cure it up instantly.
