I am a white, 42 year old male. my skin, specifically my chest region, turns splotchy red after a hot shower or strenuous activity. what causes this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hives: This in temporary it is a release of histamine after exercise or pressure from a hot shower. An oral over the counter no tiring antihistamine such as claritin, (loratadine) allegro, or zyrtc could suppress the reaction.
