Thanks for the link. I am actually familiar with heat rash. I've had it before too, when I used to be an athlete. However, I'm really quite sure that what I'm experiencing now is hives, with the telltale appearance and itchiness. As far as I can remember, I have never gotten the hives under my arms or on other areas that rub, which is where my heat rash used to occasionally pop up. It's very odd indeed. I read somewhere once that it's possible to be "allergic" to something in your own body - I forget what exactly - that is released when you sweat a lot. It was a few years ago that I read that though.
Thanks for your response. :)
