It could be something as basic as dry skin reacting to sweat. It could, however, be a symptom of something more serious, such as

Ask a doctor.

It may be an allergic reaction to the detergent you are washing your clothes with or a fabric softener if you use one.
These will get re activated when wet or damp.

I had that something like that. I had a mite type of thing on my skin. I would get real itchy when sweating or sitting in the heat. Even taking a warm shower would irritate me. See a dr.
