Had cold-air hives when younger, but seem to handle cold better now. can i go swimming in a pool if i ease myself in the water gently? no probs lately

Hives: Greetings. Your skin snsativity may still be present years later. Always swim with a friend and enter the water slowly. Diving or jumping in may cause intense stimulation at once which could cause shock.
