For 5 years, from a little physical effort and mild sweat my scalp, chest, armpits, pubes intensively start to itch like fucking needles.

Worst problem is the surroundings (Environment). Example: i'm home and i wanna get out, once i get out the door and walk a bit, get immediately struck with a wave of itching on my body and when it calms down i go and enter another building and the same shit goes down. It lasts for a few minutes and then it stops, but sometimes it feels so bad and doesn't stop that i gotta go back to my previous environment from the triggering building for it to stop. There is no exception to this, it always happens in the way i explained it. This is how it's programmed for me. Even fapping activates it. So anything cardio/sweating. It's unbearable to be around people and this happening to uselessly scratch with my clothes on like a monkey and walking around and tweaking from the crazy itching. This is the reason i quit the gym, when i lift anything the itching comes for the rest of the session but sometimes it's tolerable but just annoying and the exercise cycling bike is fucking undoable man, the itching, also happens when the place is hot in temperature, at this point i think it's psychological man.

All my life i was a isolated basement dweller computer nerd and now i have environment changing intolerance wtf? i got a good reason to not exercise and leave the house lmao, i'm like that man from better call saul where radiowaves affects him and he makes a faraday cage from his house.

As for the the skin, red spots appear from either me scratching or on it's own and they dissapear after it's over, nothing obvious.

I'm ready to try anything, please tell me what is causing it and how to treat it.

Never vaxxed. Has anyone had my symptoms before? What i can't wrap my head around is
>be facing the door of a pharmacy or store
>enter in
>le itch bastards.
no matter what the conditions may be.

just surpress the symptoms with cortisol, ask questions later.

Cholinergic urticaria, I got it in high school.

Only cure is to exercise (running is least painful) until you sweat it out. After 15 min of hard running it should be less bad. Sweating it out once should deactivated it for a day. Constant exercise supresses it. It went away for me and hasn't come back in awhile, but only after I got into exercise for myself. Don't exercise anymore, though.

I'll add that what you describe is exactly what I had, always when entering doors or exercising. Dermatologists just gave me xyzal which did nothing. I literally had to run until whatever the receptors are run out of itchy juice for the day, triggering all of it in half an hour. Don't know why it happened or why it went away permanently.

They do, but they're super habit forming. I have the same problem as OP, and I develop hives literally on a daily basis. It's usually just 2 or 3 and they go away after a few hours. They tend to appear on my arms and legs. I've used a variety of medications, and topical benadryl works the best, but it's absolutely habit forming and you will develop a physical dependency that will result in much worse itching if you don't have any on hand. Cortisone cream doesn't work as well for me, but it doesn't seem to be quite as habit forming.

That's what hives are, or what they were described to me as. If they are not raised I don't see that as a huge deviation from the diagnosis, most of the time my spots/hives never even appeared just itching.

Didn't do anything for me at all. A 30 minute run through the fire is all that will do it. I've completely been rid of mine. Temperature changes, anxiety, and exercise do nothing to me now.

i had a very similar issue until i started running+weight lifting daily and taking a small amount of anti-histamines (also daily)
