I have cholinergic urticaria and have been unable to find a treatment. I've been to the dermatologist and told me to take zyrtec, allergist who took siin tests for both food and pollen and I'm not allergic, dietitian doing an elimination diet but so far nothing has worked. What is the cause of this and what will make it go away for good? I just want to know what's caused this and how to make it better. Thanks
