Pain when sweating

[genariq]

Hi, this has happened to me within the past 10 years, and it only happens during seasons with cold weather.  When I get hot, or nervous, or anxious, where normal people are described as breaking out in a sweat, I get excrutiating pain all over my body.  It feels like i am being stabbed by millions of needles, I itch, and my skin turns bright red.  Once I actually start sweating, and there is actual persperation, the pain goes away.  Even if I am swimming and start to "sweat" the pain comes.  My father, a doctor, thought it was a sort of allergy and gave me Atarax, I think that was it, but it didn't help.  During the summers, the pain doesn't come.  If I were to describe what I think is happening, it's as if my pores are sealed and when I need to sweat, they don't open unless I start sweating profusely.  Is there anything I can do for this, or what is this?  Thanks for any helpful answers.

Did anyone ever figure out what this was?? It’s 2021 and I have a friend who suffers from just this.

An immunological study for cold aggluttinin is indicated

that is what i have seen in my online research, but it seems to me like there are these welts that appear, or hives, with defined red areas, and that doesn't happen with me, just the pain/needles.  and every other time i've read about it, it doesn't seem to "go away" once the perspiration starts.  with my case, it is gone once I start perspiring.  but i guess that could be it...

Itch and pain nerve fibers are common for both.Some times itch can be felt as pain,and vice versa.I have not come across frank pain but cholinergic urticaria as needles,like you put it.Treatment consits of antihistaminics ranitidine and antidepressants in some cases.
