Hi, everyone. Has anyone noticed a reduction in body hair with cholinergic urticaria, especially underarm hair? The hair on my scalp still grows normally, but I’ve noticed a reduction in my body hair.
Do you think cholinergic urticaria has something to do with this?
Thanks,
-Anonymous

Hey guys, thought I’d share my story with you all.
These past 6 months have been something I’d never imagined.
Last summer i was at the beach, it was an extremely hot day I was with my boyfriend and when we got out the water and walked up to the car I could feel my skin tingling, I didn’t think anything of it until my boyfriend pointed out my skin was swollen more than We had ever seen
I red swelling dots everywhere over my body.
As you could imagine I freaked out
Since then EVERY DAY
change of temperature, slightly hot showers/baths, skin in contact with the sun, or the tiniest bit of stress I have a outbreak.
Theser past few months have been so hard, my anxiety got a lot worse causing me to suffer depression because I’m not capable of doing the things I had always wanted to do and coming to the realisation the things I took for granted.
Two weeks after releasing what I had was a serious issue I searched and searched for answers. The doctors has no idea.
I found this website after a long few months of constant research.
I was sure it was this
I seen people were going to dermatologist so I did the same, after my appointment with dr curtain he diagnosed me and promised he would help. He assured I was his priority. He even reduced the fee for my appointment because I broke down whilst explaining what I’ve been through.
He called me two days days later over the weekend and asked for me to take Zyrtec morning and night. I did that knowing it wouldn’t help as I had tried it before hand.
My rash got a lot worse
A lot.
He’s sent me some tests to be done and also told me to stay of anything tomato and aspirin
He is express posting me a prescription for zantac, not sure what mg
Although it’s on the outside I still feel everything on the inside. It’s more than what it looks
It’s painful, it stings, it aches and burns.
I’ve spend numerous night in tears to family/friends telling them I don’t want to live with this and what I could had done to deserve this.
Going from someone who never dealt with skin issues or anything medically this bad
This horrible thing has stopped me from working and doing anything enjoyable because with my anxiety it all just becomes to much to handle.
I walk for 2 minutes and it’s there, I ride a skateboard and it’s there.
I can’t escape it
No one understands which has brought me here to share my story.
