That’s really rough, but I can only imagine it’s not the cold itself that is ‘causing’ the reaction but rather exacerbating it somehow and it is actually caused by something else.

Seems like it

This happens to my mum, but it normally has to be colder.

I suffered with something similar when I was going through puberty, doing things like outdoor PE in school would bring up massive hives all over my face, neck, legs and arms. First time I remember it happening I had been to the beach with friends when I was 13 or 14, had been in the sea and got out into the cold breeze and boom, instant hives. Obviously I didn’t know what it was at the time so was quite concerned about it but without the prevalence of camera phones and with it needing certain conditions to appear it was difficult to speak to a GP about it. Thankfully I seemed to grow out of it so hopefully she’ll find the same.
When I was a teen I also suffered with allergies to things like dust mites so perhaps it was all linked to allergic reactions
