Possible: Some people develop small itchy hives after contact with water and this is called aquagenic urticaria. The cause is unknown but some believe that it is from interaction between body sweat and the water. A more common condition is choinergic urticaria in which a person starts to have small , red, itchy hives when the body starts to cool off ( as in sweating, ) after a rise in core temperature.
