Does anyone suffer from cold urticaria?

Question

Apparently, when someone is exposed to cold weather, their skin breaks out in a red blotch with hives.
My 5 year old just started exhibiting these symtoms.
Is there a cure, or treatment?
Is it life-threatening?

Thanks Prof, but i got that already from wikipedia also.
I wanted personal experience.

Answer 1

Urticaria or hives is a relatively common form of allergic reaction that causes raised red skin welts. Urticaria is also known as nettle rash or uredo. These welts can be 5 mm (0.2 inches) in diameter or more, itch severely, and often have a pale border. Urticaria is generally caused by direct contact with an allergenic substance, or an immune response to food or some other allergen. Hives can be caused by stress.

Obviously, the most important thing is to stay warm. Some air conditioned rooms and pools may be too cold for the skin. Warming up immediately usually aids in the relief of the itching.

Allergy medications such as Benadryl, Zyrtec, and Allegra may be taken to prevent and get rid of hives. Cold hives can result in a potentially serious, or even fatal, systemic reaction. People with cold hives may have to carry an injectable form of epinephrine (like Epi-pen or Twinject) for use in the event of a serious reaction.

Penile Papules are small spots (white or skin coloured) and are found around the head penis. They are an embarassing problem but the good news is that they are not infectious and aren't related in any way to sexual activity and personal hygiene. Do not try to to squeeze them, as this could lead to scarring and infection. You can decide to have the papules removed for cosmetic reasons, using a laser to vaporise the spots.If you are looking for a home remedy visit this site http://papules.toptips.org
