Skin Condition?

[RelikStarr]

Ever since I could remember when ever I would get hit by cold air during the winter or cold season,  I would get these weird red bumps. It would only happen when I wasn't keeping myself busy or doing something and it would only happen on my arms and legs and stomach area. Not on my face, hands, feet or back. It becomes itchy if I scratch it or my clothing does but disappears completely once I warm up. It also appears quickly if I'm not in motion and takes a longer period of time to disappear and never leaves anything to indicate it was there. I'm not sure what it is and its never effected my health to my knowing. Is this just like hives but to the cold or something I should worry about?

It may be eczema. Try to keep some good lotion on one that works for me is Eucerin Plus Intensive Repair Hand cream. You can use that on your legs and hands but I wouldn't use it on the face. It leaves a coating that protects the skin. I 've tried a lot of things like bag balm and other creams and this seems to work the best for me.

A body can do some weird things when it gets cold. But I've never heard of hives or had hives that acted like that. (Although I get hives like I got chicken pox- EVERYWHERE.) If it's how your body has reacted for years, then it doesn't sound life threatening. However, because some of these things can be symptoms of bigger problems unknown, I suggest you bring it up with your dr. If they disappear quickly, take a picture of them while you have them. He might have an answer for you.
