After having showers with hot water or getting hot(due to blankets) during sleeping i get an allergy?


the allergy is ithcing swells that will dissapear after 20min if i dont scratch them.do you think it is a heat allergy or is it something else that is activated by heat?
pls answer!!!

I suffer from the same thing.

It's hives.

It can be an allergic reaction - if you're having other symptoms of allergies like watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, then it could just be an extension of whatever you're allergic to.

But hives can be brought on by heat without an allergic reaction. Nobody knows for sure why it happens in the absence of other allergies. But heat brings blood to the surface of the skin and allows hives to develop.

If you scratch them, they will spread. Sometimes mine itch when they're just flat red wheals, and sometimes they don't... but if I so much as touch a wheal before it swells, POOF! Not only does it swell and itch a lot worse, but it tells all its friends and neighbors, and it spreads like wildfire.

I have had chronic hives for 6 months now - due to allergies. I take a Claritin and a Singulair every day, and it still doesn't completely get rid of them. I am undergoing allergy shots.

One other thing you can do is to get some Ivarest. You can find it at Walgreens. I've tried everything else on the market, and only Ivarest keeps the hives down for longer than an hour or so. It's a little more expensive, but a tube will last me several weeks, instead of just a day or two like a tube of Benadryl cream.

You can also take Benadryl before a shower to help keep the hives down to a minimum.

If you don't get relief of them within about six weeks, go to the doctor and get tested for allergies.
I had the same problem when I was child so my doctor told me I should having shower with warm water 3 times a week and after shower you have to put some cream to your body and never sleep with hot blankets so try some soft sheets and also never wear kind of things that make your body hot ALWAYS wear 100% cotton.
I have the same problem right now and I went to the store to purchased some gold bond creme and allergy pills the gold bond creme helped me alot.
