A member asked:

Is it technically correct to categorize cholinergic urticaria as a physical hive? i am uncertain because it is triggered from things like emotions.

Yes: emotions can precipitate swearing, and sweat is the problem rather , not the heat, hope the treatment works, and hope that you have spontaneous recovery soon
