Ok, in the last few days ive developed a rash all over my body, it gets really red after exercise, then goes away later on. Take a look.

Hello,
The symptoms are suggestive of exercise urticaria. Most symptoms can be controlled by taking antihistaminics like Benadryl or Claritin or zyrtec. Also keep track of what you eat before exercising for a few weeks. If you notice a pattern to your symptoms that seems related to a certain food, stop eating it for a while and see if the hives stop. Also, do not exercise for 4 to 6 hours after you eat.

You should stop exercising as soon as you notice the hives. If the hives don't go away in 5 to 10 minutes, or if you have other symptoms, call your doctor right away. It can be Exercise-induced anaphylaxis.

Also wear medical alert jewelry or ID tags describing the condition and sensitive substances and always carry a self-injectable epinephrine kit (Epi pen). I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
