generalized urticaria from cold

looking in the logs of the hole, I discover that someone came here looking for "allergy to the cold." fantastic. are not only! so I put a little bit to try and find out that it is a type of dermatitis that affects up to 2% / 4% of the population!

here is what does the wikipedia:

Identical in most physical urticaria. It consists of very itchy pomfoidi reactions that appear within minutes after exposure to the trigger. In other cases, lack of immediate stimulus, but several hours after exposure angioedema appears that persists for several days. Itching is absent and replaced by sensations of burning and tension.

Clinical details have some hives of thermal origin:
Generalized urticaria from heat - the bumps are very small and are seen more often in the face, neck and extensor surfaces of the limbs.
Generalized urticaria from cold - as well as the skin manifestation anaphylactic reactions are possible, and myalgia, arthralgia, and headache persist for 4 -6 hours.

I dare say that in my case I covered in hives, rather than angioedema. More than anything I hope I never catch me myalgia, arthralgia, and headaches for 6 hours because of a rush of cold!
There is also an article on the respectable margherita.net !

That's how tanned my right hand after a few kilometers on a motorbike. in winter, with rain and without gloves.

Unfortunately, no therapy is not indicated.
Argh.

This post is dedicated to all those who tease me when I say that I am allergic to cold!
