Itching: Itching by itself usually nothing. But, can be associated with blood abnormalities . Ask doctor to do a differential on your complete blood count (cbc).

Physical Urticaria: Cholinergic urticaria is one of the physical urticarias brought on by a physical stimulus. Although this stimulus might be considered to be heat, the actual precipitating cause is sweating.
