Hi,
You appear to be having a condition called cholinergic urticaria which is not a very well known condition and the exact cause for this condition is not yet known. You can try the following to get some relief. Avoid exposure to heat as much as you can. Wear loose cotton clothes. Shower with cool water. Cool compress with cotton cloth. Avoid skin getting dry.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Anoop Kumar, General & Family Physician
