That happens to me too. I asked my doctor and he said it 's nothing to worry about at all....it happens to a lot of people..it's basically your blood moving around in your body. It doesn't really have anything to do with heat or sweat or anything..and I guess you could kind of think it's good for you, because you are actually moving!!!

It might have something to do with your body products. As we exercise we start to sweat and our pore start to open up. Try a different laundry detergent. Maybe try a different body wash or moisturizer and see if you notice a difference. Or maybe you are wearing synthethic fabrics on those areas that can cause irritation.
If I was you I would try to exercise with no clothing touching those areas and burn through it, then shower off immediately. I would take it as a sign that the skin is doing it's job of releasing toxins and assume it has found some. I would exercise more regularly to get it all out, switch to all natural products and if that didn't work I would think about going on an alkaline diet for a couple weeks.
Peace!

Exercise-induced anaphylaxis (Google it) is always something to consider. There are 3 different degrees of severity.
The same thing happens to me, itchy hives on legs and arms, depending on the duration and degree of difficulty while working out.. I usually take a mild antihistamine approximately 45 min before exercise. Do consult with your doctor about this potentially harmful condition.

Poor circulation. As you continue to do the same exercises...and the fat burns away...it is less red and itchy.

It sounds like you may have eczema or dermatitis, with these two skin disorders, whenever the skin gets moist you itch like crazy. No need to see a dermatologist, just see your PCP (primary care physician) and they can give you a topical cream or medicated lotion to control it.
