Hi Kara.
Thanks for responding.
> Sounds like cholinergic urticaria. Your body produces a histamine response to the heat.
Do you get a visible rash or hives? I have absolutely no discoloration on my skin at all.
> Do you also get this reaction when you exercise?
I haven't exercised in so long, I really don't know. I think there might be something going on with heat or sweating. You could be right.
> Now, an hour before I exercise I take Zyrtec and I don't have the problem but it's definitely a nuisance and I hate the fact that I need to take it!
I think I'll experiment with an antihistamine if it gets bad enough. Thanks for the advice.
Be well.
