I finally found something that helped

November 1, 2016 by Forum Member

I’ve had cholinergic urticaria since I was 16 or 17, and I’m 20 now. I’ve tried taking pills to help it, but it didn’t work.

A while ago someone told me that taking real hot showers everyday would help. He said that he can exercise and he didn’t get it at all anymore. I started taking really hot shower everyday and pushing through that first few minutes, and it seems to be working. I felt it getting less intense everyday.

If you want to know exactly what I do when I get in the shower, I turn the heat up as much as I can take and I wait the first few minutes for the needle sensation to go away. Then I stay under the water for at least 10 more minutes or so. I put on lotion afterwards also (branding doesn’t really matter because I change sometimes) . If I stop doing this for some days, then it will come back because I tried it to see.

I hope this helps, and if it does, I would like to know. (Note: Always talk to a doctor before trying any treatment to make sure that it’s safe for you).

Thanks,

Brandon

    I thought hot showers cause the heat hives. I used to take hot showers a lot back in my teen years and my dermatologist said that may be what causes heat hives. He said he always recommends people take cold showers and use lotion and what not. And he told me to take zytec and called it a day. But to be fair his recommendations never worked. Maybe I’ll get a second opinion. But for right now, exercising is the only temporarily cure for me (forcing out the attack and hives stop for only one day).

      When you take the showers you will start to itch in the beginning. It takes about a week or so for you not to feel them anymore. It took me a little over a week and baring through the pain at the beginning, but now I can go to the gym again finally. Cant believe this worked, but it did.
