Heat sensitivity

Question

Heat sensitivity

Asked for Female, 17 Years

Hi, so I have a question. I have been very heat sensitive all my life, in the way that I get super blotchy legs after showering, being hot, and even just from wearing long pants (keep in mind I have pale skin). I also get extremely light headed when showering to the point where I have to get out and sit for a few minutes before being able to continue. This has been manageable most of my life but the past 6 or so months it has gotten even worse, any idea what it could be?

A variant of urticaria is known as aquagenic urticaria. it can also happen with hot water specifically. Try taking a shower with cold water and see if the similar problem still exists. Without examination of the skin condition and knowing the extent of involvement.. along with this more information on ongoing medication or previous history of skin illness it is not possible to comment on the treatment that would suit you best. Please get the problem checked thoroughly by visiting a qualified dermatologist. Hope this is helpful.
