Hi, i get hives whenever i sweat or get sun exposure... why is that happening.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Physical urticaria: Heat (cholinergic) or solar urticaria, is a type of an allergic skin condition, try to avoid heat or undue sun exposure for now, take OTC cetirizine to control your symptoms and before working out, don't drive if it makes you drowsy, get seen by a dermatologist or an allergist, check aaaai.org or acaai.org for an allergist in your area, good luck
