Sweating

'Cholinergic Urticaria' is a condition that causes hives caused by being over stressed, sweating, overheating. Could this be it? http://dermatology.about.com/cs/hives/a/cholurt.htm I hope this link works for some info for you. I hope this helps you and your friend.

I think I will suggest to lower salt and caffeine intake. Both are contributors to sweating. The rash may be heat rash. I would bet that powders and creams may irritate by clogging the pores and not allowing "free" sweating. This is only my opinion.

I would tell him to use medicated gold bond powder it might work or even diaper rash medicine. I think it may be due to over sweating and staying damp to long my mom has this problem sometimes. A good powder with a menthol in it will help the sweating. Or it could be due to having to much acidity in his system I have had that problem . Sometimes doctors don't know what they are doing sometimes they just make guesses in the dark about stuff. I hope it gets cleared up soon cause that can get worse as time goes by. It could also be a touch of yeastinfection from sweating to .

I'm not expert, but I would have to think that anything your body produces is completely innocuous to you. If a person sweats a lot maybe the problem would just be irritation from constant moisture. This would explain why benadryl doesn't help. I would keep trying with a good anti-perspirant and/or baby/after shower body powder and see if it improves when the area is kept dry as much as possible.

a friend said some weeks ago, he got it. he was going to a alternative practitioner and this man said that would be a psychological problem. he told him to go for yoga or qigong. he does qigong during 4 weeks he said, he was getting quietly psycho. just a free head! of course he has done many things for his balanced nutrition. but in his expierences it is just the head. that´s all about my thoughts in that.
