Dealing With Cholinergic Urticaria

Urticaria Caused by Exercise - Cholinergic Urticaria

There are more forms of Urticaria than I care to list here. All of which are are triggered by different things, many of which go undetected for a life time.

Urticaria caused by exercise or over excursion is more commonly known as 'Cholinergic Urticaria' and is one of the most common forms of hives (urticaria).

While this type of urticaria is very common it can still be very annoying to those who suffer repeatedly with the condition. As with many forms of urticaria some people will experience symptoms infrequently (acute) while others will suffer with Cholinergic Urticaria repeatedly (chronic).

Symptoms of Cholinergic Urticaria.

The normal symptoms of this condition manifest themselves as lots of small red hives, they look very much like nettle rash and unlike some other forms of urticaria usually stay that way.

These hives normally occur on the upper half of the body although in some cases they can cover the whole of the body.

Cholinergic Urticaria develops when the body temperature rises through exertion such as exercising normally within about half an hour. They cause the sufferer discomfort, burning sensations and itching.

The actual reason for Urticaria developing after exercise or exertion other than rising body temperature is not known, however in most cases the condition normally disappears just as quickly as it came.

Cholinergic Urticaria Treatment.

Well there is the obvious answer, which I am sure you have seen a hundred times before which is 'reduce strenuous exercise', take cold showers after your work out, which is all well and good.

But wouldn't it make far more sense to tackle the underlying condition which is ultimately causing the problem, surely it's better to never have the condition appear again?.

Drugs aren't the answer as they can make all types of urticaria worse in the long term, the best course of action to begin with is to completely detoxify your body, removing the toxins helps the bodies immune system work properly.
