Your symptoms are suggestive of cold-induced urticaria (a type of hives triggered by cold temperature or sudden temperature changes). In this condition, itchy red wheals can appear on exposed areas like the arms and legs when the skin is exposed to cold air or water, and they usually resolve on their own after some time.
Helpful Tips / Word of Caution:
• Avoid very cold showers, ice application, or swimming in cold water, as this may trigger more severe reactions.
• If hives become frequent, severe, or associated with swelling of lips/face or breathing difficulty, seek medical evaluation promptly.
• Most cases are benign and manageable with antihistamines and trigger avoidance.
