Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic

I will keep a possibility of cholinergic urticaria.
It presents as skin welts/swellings, which can be distributed all over the body.
Itching is subjective in individuals.
The trigger in this type of urticaria is often a change in core body temperature. Certain situation that may trigger it are e.g strong emotions, exercise, sun and heat, hot shower, spicy food etc
It is chronic and is best treated with a single does of an oral antihistamine e,g cetrizine 10 mg once daily.
Treatment is long term.

Regards
