I ran a mile today in gym class, and I started to get really itchy. My skin felt very hot like it was on fire, and after I was done running I got a hives on my legs which lasted for ten minutes at least. I'm not sure if I have a reaction to the cold (it was in the high fifties), or the friction, but is this dangerous? Should I tell my doctor about this? I don't want to seem like I'm making excuses to my gym teacher, but I've heard that if you get a rash when you're running then you should stop. Thanks!

Definitely, see a doctor.
Well it could be because your running really hard and the cold air is hitting you well you are warm and then if you scratch it a lot then that would explain the hives.
