Heat Urticaria: Although a rare condition, consider heat urticaria. This may be causing your symptoms. Please see your pcp for further evaluation. However, the most common situation is being dehydrated. Drink plenty of fluids.(water) this does not mean coffee, tea, sodas with caffeine, alcohol, which all can dehydrate.
