When the whether is cold outside my hands feet and head begin to get hot and those body parts begin to itch and swell. what is this and what can i do?

Cold urticaria: I have seen this response to heat, and there is something similar that occurs in the cold known as cold allergy. You can have it tested for and confirmed by an allergist. Here is a wikipedia article: http://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/cold_urticaria.

A member asked:
I have been having extremely itchy skin. Starts on hands and feet. Sometimes on the rest of my body. There are no marks to show any signs of rash. That is until I claw myself to death. Wondered if it may be a sign of diabetes. Never had this before. Lotion does not help. I have not changed any kind of soap or shampoo or detergent. I can take a Benadryl and it will stop. Itching?
