Can Dry Skin or Eczema Cause Cholinergic Urticaria Hives?

January 9, 2010 by Hivesguy

Can Dry Skin or Eczema Cause Cholinergic Urticaria (or make it worse)?

Post by: fumduk on May 07, 2009, 05:25:03 PM

After reading some of the stories of when people first experienced the itching, I started to notice that a lot of people state that it starts later in the year near or during winter. And also that a lot of them say that they were active.

So I am wondering, and would appreciate and like to here your suggestions, if you think that is relevant or not. I am thinking that dry skin might be part of the cause, because skin tends to dry out it out the winter months and it seems like people say once they start to sweat it brings them relief. And when you sweat it obviously brings moisture to the skin.

Just something to think about.

Also I personally have really dry hands during the winter, and was wonder if anybody else has dry hands to?

Hello fumduk,

That is a great point you make. It is always possible that the skin does become dry. Perhaps once it is dry, it becomes more at risk for developing Cholinergic Urticaria or something?? My skin does become quite dry at times, and I have to moisturize quite a bit with lotion, etc.

Yet, at the same time I am not really sure if dry skin is the cause of cholinergic urticaria, or if it is just another symptom that could be associated with it (like keratosis pilaris).

Plus it seems that if dry skin is the only cause, then everyone with dry skin would get Cholinergic Urticaria. But that doesn’t seem to be the case as many people get dry skin every year, but few get Cholinergic Urticaria.

So there is defintely (in my opinion) a possibility that dry skin could be associated or somehow involved, but I don’t think it is the only factor involved at this point. Great point about it though! What do the rest of you Cholinergic Urticaria people think?

I definitely hate the itchy eczema on my fingers and elbow.

I concur with your opinion HivesGuy.

Dry Skin is an element of Cholinergic Urticaria but, from my experience and observation, the correlation isn’t a link to causation.

Yeah it must be, sometimes a get a dry scalp and the Cholinergic Urticaria will infact start from the scalp. So i think dry skin affects Cholinergic Urticaria, but doesn’t cause it

i know for my condition, it’s not something “on the outside.” something happens in my body where signals cross or messages get confused and my internal mechanics freak out. i have found that topical irritants (detergents, lotions, etc.) are merely just that, irritants. they don’t make or break a bad hive outbreak.

Title: What I’ve found about my Cholinergic Urticaria

1) I have eczema, and it seems that every time my Cholinergic Urticaria comes, so does my eczema, when my Cholinergic Urticaria clears up, so does my eczema

2) When I exercise, I initially get hives, but over a period of 5 minutes i begin to sweat

3) If im not being active and I have a breakout, it is much more painful than when im (for example) lifting heavy weights

4) If i don’t think about Cholinergic Urticaria too much, i can make the temperature threshold much higher, so i dont get Cholinergic Urticaria at warm temperatures

Im trying to find a link to see what exactly has caused my Cholinergic Urticaria to return, but theres what ive got so far

I experience all of those symptoms.

I’m sorry to hear your Cholinergic Urticaria has come back.
