the past few days i have been having weird reactions. it started when i woke up and my fingers were very swollen, red and itchy.

then walking in the evening my legs felt itchy, and when i came back inside i noticed white lumps all over my legs, bum, arms and some on my stomach.

it also happened when i got onto the train as my wrists and hands were covered in lumps and legs were itchy. Think it has something to do with moving in from the cold.imageimageimageimage

    It looks like hives. These can be caused by allergies or in this case by exposure to cold conditions (cold urticaria) . If you take an antihistamine before you go out in the cold it should make things better.

      thank you so much for replying. could this be the reason why ive had a bad cough for 2 weeks now, been short of breath and wheezing.

      must be allergic to the cold haha!
