Is dry or humid heat better for cholinergic urticaria?

March 7, 2018 by Forum Member

Hi there. For sweat therapy purposes, or even just going on holiday – is dry heat worse or humid heat for cholinergic urticaria? I suppose it’s like comparing a sauna to a steam room.

Are there any types of heat which might be difficult with cholinergic urticaria? I know someone on the forum mentioned they planned to go to SE Asia but weren’t sure on the heat/humidity and level of reaction.

I’ve heard humid air makes you sweat more but then, as it sticks to the skin, you can’t really cool off.

Thanks,

Christine

    Great question, Christine. Most people with cholinergic urticaria have reported that moist heat helps them sweat faster. Some people with CU go into remission and can sweat during summer months due to the heat and humidity. Dry heat seems to be more troublesome for people with cholinergic urticaria, which is why many have more severe symptoms during the winter months with the low humidity.

    Exposing skin to “Sun ” directly can cause trouble… carry hat & umbrella. ..

    And also after long hours flight ( very dry inside of plane) caused trouble too. Always keep facial spray ( less 100 ml size bottle is ok for hand carry luggage )
