Your symptoms are suggestive of water urticaria. Water urticaria, or aquagenic urticaria, is a rare condition in which hives develop within 1 to 15 minutes after contact with water. The hives last for 10 to 120 minutes and do not seem to be caused by histamine release like the other physical hives. Water urticaria is diagnosed by applying tap water and distilled water to the skin and observing the reaction.
Treatment of water urticaria includes epinephrine, antihistamines, or cortisone-like drugs. Itching can be controlled with cold packs or commercial topical agents that contain menthol, camphor, eucalyptus oil, aloe, antihistamines, or cortisone preparations.
I sincerely advise you to consult an allergy specialist and discuss these options with him.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.
Please someone Tell me what to Do.
