Urticaria: One possibility is cholinergic urticaria. This is a form of hives that causes itching and is triggered by things like exercise, heat or cold. Usually there are red welts associated with the itching. Oral antihistamines such as Claritin (loratadine) or Allegra can help control this. If there is no visible rash, consult your physician or a dermatologist for evaluation and work up of your symptoms.
