whoever you are,i've have the same condition as you and in fact the condition to when it happens are so similar to mine like " I also have this thing whereby if i do exercise or anything demanding i get itchy all over especially my scalp and it feels like millions of tiny needle pricks" that I thought this msg was written by me by mistake but it isn't so can I ask you to go up a lil and reply to the decussion that we're having as so we can compare our situation.thank you.
I've had this problem since I can remember. usually my left ear, but sometime the right and rarely the two together. The usual trigger for me is anger or blushing from embarrassment or something. Scratching or rubbing also triggers it sometimes and on many occasions it just happens by itself. I also have this thing whereby if i do exercise or anything demanding i get itchy all over especially my scalp and it feels like millions of tiny needle pricks. I've seen plenty of doctors and none of them could tell what the matter was. This is especially frustrating because I'm fair-skinned and my ear glows red-hot. The only thing that helps relieve it sometimes is taking a long shower.
hi Bob, glad I can be of some help. No you are not the only one with this. I think that we should be thankful that this is such minor issue that we are dealing with. I believe that the condition is called "Cold Urticaria" or "Heat Urticaria" Look those up for a little info that may help you. Good luck and feel free to email me anytime.
Unfortunatly I dont know of any cures. I'm hoping that it is something that will eventually work itself out. If you are allergic to something that is seting it off, you could try to eliminate coming into contact with that substance. But there are thousands of things that could be. Food, soaps, fabrics, air...you get my drift. Maybe run some tests with an allergist. Mine all came back negative. The other problem is that it can be set of by no apparent reason.
funny you would mention that.That would mean that I can't do any exercises,going outside(sun),taking hot or warm showers or get stress up.The hardest one would be the sun which would limit me to home.Maybe is our heads but then again maybe your right in that we should wait and see.btw Joel,my friend's mom is accupuntureces and she tells me Barley soup helps but I couldn't try it since it isn't summer yet.Since it is Winter,you might have a shot at it.Who knows.
