Urticaria Cold

Warm-cold urticaria (from the Latin “a”, “against” and “frigus”, “cold”) is an allergic reaction of the body to cold, resulting from exposure to cold or direct cooling of the skin.

Hives can be caused by both frost and low air and water temperatures, air conditioners and fans, cold showers, swimming in cold water, and sleeping under a sheet or pillow of a cold size. An allergy to cold is called cold pockmarks - characteristic red itchy bumps
