Hi, welcome to the forum, urticaria cannot be cured but it can be controlled and prevented. From your history it is clear that you having allergy to water or its contents. Very less has been known about water allergy and it is termed as Aquagenic urticaria. It can be due to exposure to allergens present in sweat, water in your area or due to ions in non-distilled water.

If you are allergic to water following measures will help you-
- Stay away from water as long as possible.
- Avoid going in rain outside.
- Keep yourself cool during summer as even sweating will cause reaction.
- Try boiling water before bath and as well can try hot water bath. Avoid showers.
- Dry yourself immediately as soon you finish your bath.  

I hope this will help you. Take care and regards.

I have urticaria too and I take Benadryl, Reactine, and Atarax and it helps so much but Prednisone helps more but you can't not take that all the time, its like a treatment, I have water urticaria so its very hard to get away from that and sweet and rain etc...

It may be an allergy to something you are using or eating,at that time did you start to use any new product on your skin,or shower gel,  what are the most affected areas, neck, arms legs?We find here that an allergy med is helpful,one is called Claritin and benydryl is another . I think you are right when you say a dry climate can also irritate , there are hydrcortisone creams that soothe .
