Cold Urticaria: Cold urticaria or sensitivity to wool can be a cause of your symptoms. These symptoms maybe treated with H1antihistamines (cetirizine etc) and H2 antihistamines (Zantac). Severe symptoms maybe need steroid treatment. Anti inflammatory diet may help as well. See your doctor for appropriate treatment.

A 29-year-old female asked:
I have been taking antihistamines for my hives (entire body), and they are working. But now I developed a small area of skin that's itchy and dry, and it has gotten bigger every day because I scratch it in sleep. Can this be caused by antihistamines?

I always feel itchy after I take a bath. It doesnt matter whether the water is cold or warm. When I was younger, I used to think I was allergic to water?
