I'd like to ask if anyone knows what it is or if any of you experienced it before.

Everytime i immerse myself in a swimming pool or any body of water,i would get these red bulges on my skin after 15 mins or so as if i was bitten by a horde of mosquitoes.

The same thing also happens when i go to a shopping mall and the air conditioning would cause my skin to develop red bulges which itches a heck of a lot.It seems as if my skin is very reactive towards cold temperatures.

Leave me a comment if anyone knows of my skin condition. icon_question.gif

let me guess, your doctor did not say anything that cause it and just give u anti itchy pills and steroid cream to treat the symptoms?

There is such thing call water allergy. I have it. Aquagenic urticaria or Aquagenic pruritus. Check with your dermatologist.

I went to a few dermatologist before one could properly explain it to me. A lot of them don't even know that such thing could exist.

For me, it started once I hit puberty. Rain, sweat, swimming pool, sea, shower (local, overseas), any contact with water, my torso until butt there will have red itchy bumps all over for about 15-30 minutes. One of the doctor gave me meds to be taken before I come in contact with water everytime, which I didn't bother. The last dermatologist I saw, gave me a name for the condition and told me that it'll get better when I grow older, which it did (the doctor himself is allergic to certain temperature water only). It has been more than 15 years since I have it and I hardly notice it now.

Chlorine sensitive. The rest probably just sensitive skin.

I get it too, sometimes before starting my run.. legs would be itchy like hell after about 5 minutes, then subside.. didn't see any redness though.. I read that it could be due to insufficient warmup?

Either way,i should avoid being exposed to cold anything for too long but doctor intervention isn't needed as it would heal after a few mins/hours eventually.

Seems like allergy towards airborne n waterborne allergens, unlikely the water itself. It doesnt happen when u shower at home right?

Nope,doesn't occur when i shower(hot or cold) but it does happen when i'm exposed to aircon or immersing in a pool for about 20 mins.Most likely i have cold rashes and swimmer's itch(caused by waterborne bacteria).

As i've said before this,no need for medical help as it'll heal eventually after a few mins or applying ointment to the rashes.

Is allergy, do consult a doctor or skin specially to have a clearer image. They will give you a diagnose and provide cream for you to apply~
Get well soon~
