Based on your description, it seems you might be experiencing symptoms consistent with a condition known as cholinergic urticaria, which is a type of hives triggered by increased body temperature. This can be caused by factors like heat from sunlight, exercise, stress, hot showers, or sweating. When your body temperature rises, small itchy rashes can appear and be quite uncomfortable. The fact that symptoms subside when you cool down under a fan aligns with this condition, as cooling can offer relief.

Management involves identifying and avoiding known triggers when possible. Consider wearing lightweight, breathable clothing when you know you’ll be in hot conditions, and gradually acclimatize to heat exposure to reduce symptoms. Over-the-counter antihistamines can be useful in managing symptoms; non-sedating options like loratadine or fexofenadine might be practical choices as they can help prevent reactions if taken before exposure to known triggers. It is essential to avoid overheating, so maintain a comfortable body temperature especially when engaging in activities likely to induce sweating.

However, given that this has persisted for several years and might be becoming more frequent or severe, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation. They can assess whether cholinergic urticaria or another condition might be the cause, as there are other types of physical urticaria and similar conditions that require different management strategies. They might explore allergy testing or other diagnostic evaluations to rule out other underlying conditions. If any symptoms ever become severe or you notice difficulty breathing or swelling of lips or throat, seek immediate medical attention as these could be signs of a more serious allergic reaction.
