What Causes Redness And Sharp Pain All Over The Skin?
I had a bath earlier and when i sat in the water my skin felt like needles were being poked all over. When i got out of the bath my body was quite red all over. I have had lots of baths with the same temp water as today. But i have never seen my body so red for about 1hr afterwards..why do u think? am i more inflamed than usual?

Hello
Thanks for the query.
Probably you have developed cholinergic urticaria.
Your symptoms are suggestive of that.
Any change in body temperature can trigger itching and redness of skin.
I treat such cases with oral antihistamines tablet like cetrizine to be taken daily for a month and topical calamine lotion to be applied twice daily.
This should help you.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
