generalized urticaria from cold

looking in the logs of the hole, I discover that someone came here looking for "allergy to the cold." great. not only! so I put a little bit to try and find 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 of physical urticaria. It consists of very itchy pomfoidi reactions that occur within minutes after exposure to the causative factor. In other cases lacking 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 surface of limbs.
Generalized urticaria from cold - in addition to skin manifestation is possible anaphylactic reactions and myalgias, and headache atralgie that persist for 4 -6 hours.

I dare say that in my case of hives I cover it, rather than angioedemi. More than anything I hope I never catch me myalgias, and headache atralgie 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. winter, with rain and without gloves.

hand with an allergy to the cold

Unfortunately, no therapy is not indicated.
Argh.

This post is dedicated to all those who make fun of me when I say I'm allergic to the cold!
