• Most likely cholinergic urticaria (heat/stress-induced hives) or sun-triggered urticaria/photosensitivity
• Trigger pattern (tension + sunlight) strongly suggests histamine release due to heat/sweating/stress
• Usually no visible rash initially or small transient bumps that come and go
Next Steps
• Apply calming lotion (calamine or aloe-based) when itching occurs
• Use broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50+) regularly
Helpful Tips / Word of Caution:
• Avoid triggers:
• Excess heat, direct sun, hot showers
• Stress (important trigger in your case)
• Wear loose, breathable cotton clothes
• Keep skin cool (cool showers, avoid sweating buildup)
• Do NOT scratch → can worsen histamine response
• If you develop swelling of lips, eyelids, or breathing difficulty → urgent care needed

Hi there...
Your issues appear to be multifactorial.
Admittedly stress may be playing an overarching role.
☀️ exposure can be sorted by using a good quality sunscreen 🧴 from dawn to dusk; Zinc Oxide cream is a good blocking agent if you can get one freshly prepared near your 🏠.
