I Get A Red Rash When I Get Hot

I get a red rash when I get hot, it s hives I think. I skateboarded all my life and never got it before. Then I quit skating and like a year later it started happening, it has persisted for more that three years now. When its too hot, or if I eat something spicy I get it. Antihistamines don t really work.

Hi
Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum
Yes this is URTICARIA/NETTLE RASH/HIVES. It is a form of allergy seen on skin, triggers are certain foods, some drugs, emotional excitement, stress, exposure to extreme temperatures, exercise etc. Antihistamines are the only treatment in conventional medicine. You may try homoeopathy, it works best for allergies.
Takecare.

It seems as if Antihistamines don't really help to get rid of the outbreaks, I tried them for 30 days with no success. I used zyrtec and now am looking for an alternative to Antihistamines. Let me know if anyone knows how to cure this, please and thank you.
