Feeling Warm, Pink Rash On Thigh, Legs, Stomach, Back, Arms. Itching, Chills
Hello,
Yesterday morning, I woke up feeling rather warm and I was scratching my thigh. I noticed both thighs had a bit of a pink rash on them. The problem worsened today and is now up and down my legs, stomach, back, and arms.
I also work in 55-60 degree water, and the weather has recently warmed up here. It's not terribly itchy, but I do want to scratch it. And I get real chilled with lots of goosebumps for no reason, and then they will go away, just to come back again periodically.

Hi, It seems that you are having high temperature induced urticaria, known as cholinergic urticaria induced by high temperature along with aquagenic urticaria induced by water. You should avoid the exposure to high temperature and excessive water.Danazole may be taken to relieve the the wheals. Still, consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment... Ok
