What Causes Severe Cold Allergy After Bone Marrow Biopsy?

I had a bone marrow biopsy done 6 months ago due to low WBC. I usually range from about 2.0 - 3.1. I was diagnosed with MGUS. I also have hypothyroidism and since this diagnosis have developed an severe allergy to the cold. When I touch something cold I develop welts and has now progressively got worse. If my shin gets cool from air conditioner I develop welts. What type of doctor should I see this is starting to really affect my everyday life. I am an RN and work in a hospital even though I have now been sick from a low WBC I can t afford to get sick. Robin
