If OTC are not helping, it's time to seek professional help. Please consult w specialist Dermatologist. Help is right around the corner.

Cold is a known trigger of itching and hives. The condition is called "cold urticaria", and it is treatable with antihistamines and other, newer medications. A dermatologist will be able to confirm the diagnosis and prescribe treatment for it.
