HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

You may have one of the physical types of urticaria.

Urticaria refers to the formation of hives. It can be due to different possible causes including cold urticaria (rash and itching due to decreased temperature) and aquagenic (due to exposure to water).

The use of anti histamines allergy meds may help eg benadryl, claritine, allegra

Pepcid and zantac are normally used for reflux and indigestion but because of the way they work, they are also used for persons with urticaria.
Pepcid and zantac also block histamine at certain points in the body and are sometimes added on the the normal allergy meds.

I hope this helps
