Heat Rash Hives

Patients suffering from physical hives have a physical trigger such as heat, cold, pressure, water, or exercise. If heat is the trigger, you get heat rash hives. Such hives rashes are very itchy in nature.

Heat rash hives are usually caused by a sudden increase in body temperature, which could come from hot showers, exercise, spicy foods, or from being under too many covers in bed at night. Strong emotional feelings and stress may also cause hives to occur in some people.

These hives are characteristically small in size, i.e. equal to the size of a pinhead. However, these small rashes may group together into larger hives with the passage of time. Occasionally, these rashes can be associated with more severe symptoms, i.e. asthma symptoms, low blood pressure, etc. Recent studies have shown that perspiration also plays a very important part in triggering heat rash hives.

Heat Hives

Cholinergic or heat hives is a typical form of chronic hives, caused by an abrupt increase in body temperature. They can be itchy or cause a burning sensation, and the patient may feel the desire to scratch them. If scratched viciously, the situation may aggravate and the itchiness can become more severe. Applying cool compresses, prickly heat powders, and taking cold showers can relieve the burning sensation. Applying calamine lotion is also useful. Usually, heat hives vanish within a few hours after occurring without requiring any specific treatment. However, if the situation is aggravated and itchiness is accompanied by any other symptom, it is advisable to consult a doctor.

Most of the time, the rash disappears on its own, especially once the source of heat has been removed from the patient. Individuals who suffer from heat rash hives may find relief by applying cold compresses or ice packs on the affected area. Aloe vera gel and calamine lotion may also provide soothing relief.
