COLD URTICARIA / HIVES IN COLD WEATHER
I got rashes all over my body when exposed to Cold weather in winter or AC. It gets really bad & itchy when I have to stay longer in cold environment. This is from 4-5 years and getting bad.
Also consulted a doctor, he said there is no cure for it and gave anti-histamine tablets to be taken when staying in cold for longer time.
I try to cover, but it is difficult as I work as software engineer from 3 years in AC office. Also daily chores are difficult to do during winter.
Any help is appreciated
