    Yes, sound like they are from sweating. Shower right after activity to make them go away

    It could be from your clothes rubbing too much on your skin. Try wearing spandex or clothes specifically designed for running next time you go out to jog.

    are you running in kind of grassy/plant-covered areas? your legs could be having an allergic reaction to the plants.

    My legs tend to itch after i run, and the aforementioned plants are why. i usually don't have white bumps, though. if it persists, i'd see your doctor.

    You need to rub some Crisco on your legs before you go running.
