Alright so sorry for not posting on this sooner I had to go on an emergency trip down south for some family matters.(all resolved no worries)
During the time I was away I was in a very warm climate(Vancouver, BC) compared to where I live now(Northern BC) and on a few days it was getting to 30C(86F). Amazingly I was able to go for a run around outside do pretty much everything I am unable to do up north because of this rash.
After visiting the doctor yesterday he did a test on my skin with his finger to see if my skin was loaded with histamines which it was his enitals he wrote on my stomach puffed up in a red rash. I being nervous about visiting the doctor and being warm in the office I broke out in my painful rash(the doctor was suprised he said in his 35years of practicing he has never seen anything like it). Now I am being recommended to see a dermatologist but that wont be for around a month.
I am now also taking Hydroxyzine and Prednisone to see if there is any change with the rash but so far no luck.
Hi, welcome to the forum, as rightly pointed out by Maya_33, Cholinergic urticaria (sometimes called generalized heat urticaria) describes hives that are precipitated by an increase in core body temperature. Common triggering agents include exercise, strong emotions, and bathing in hot water etc. It usually starts after 20 years of age.
There are two typed of tests can be done like methacholine injection or by non-exertional elevation of the patient's core body temperature (putting arms in hot water) which can trigger the rash and confirms the diagnosis.
Treatment plan includes avoid bathing in hot water and heavy exercise in hot climate etc. Medical therapy consists of starting oral H1 antihistamines on daily basis or when the reaction can be anticipated. Other drugs like ketotifen, danazol and omalizumab against prescription can be tried if anti histamines are ineffective. I suggest you to consult allergy specialist. Take care and regards.
No problem Mike, you have the same symptoms its all about temperature changing, Im a nurse and I saw a patient with that a couple of days ago, let me know what the doctor thinks about that!!!
Wow this is the most definable diagnosis that I have yet to come by. I will be asking about this to my doctor tomorrow and getting some tests started to confirm it. I thank you a lot for this. :)
