Case from Dr Kiran Nabar
This patient came with c/o extremely pruritic evanescent lesions on trunk and shoulders for the last 2 years. They used to appear during exercise and after taking a hot bath. O/E They were 3-5 mm edematous red urticarial papules. A few of them coalesced to form big plaques. They used to subside after taking a rest. This photograph was taken after giving the patient a brief exercise regime. He was prescribed Tab.Hydroxyzine 25 mg at bed time and advised to avoid vigorous exercise and hot baths.

It always strikes me as unusual in that the palms and soles are spared in this condition despite the fact that we sweat excessively in these areas.
Also Dazazol is useful in refractory cases when antihistamines do not give adequate control.

That should be Danazol!
