Hello.

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history.

From your history, I can think of 3 possibilities:

1. Cold temperature itself causes your symptoms.
2. Sudden temperature change from warm to cold temperature causes your symptoms.
3. You may have sweating, and when it gets exposed to cold temperature, it causes your symptoms.

I would suggest you to think above possibilities and try to identify exactly what causes allergic reaction. All these may be part of physical urticaria syndromes.

For treatment, I would make following suggestions:

1. You can take antihistamines like Allergra (which you are already taking) when you are getting symptoms.
2. Avoid activities which cause excessive sweating.
3. Please avoid tight-fitting or woolen clothing. Loose fitting, cotton clothing is best.
4. If you think you have dry skin, I would suggest you to regularly apply moisturizers.
5. As you are having these symptoms with around 5 years, I would suggest you complete blood counts with ESR, stool and urine routine examination as evaluation. I would also like to ask you about symptoms of any thyroid disorder. If you have any symptoms suggestive of thyroid disease, I would also like to get thyroid testing done.

Hope this will be helpful to you.

Wish you best of the health.

Should you have any query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Regards.
