skin problems during exercise

[hubert]

I have a very embarrassing problem. It seems that when I work out, red blotches appear all over my skin. It may appear on my biceps, my stomach, my face, sometimes on my legs.

It only appears when I exercise, or when I sweat.

Urticaria, or hives, is a condition in which red, itchy, and swollen areas appear on the skin. this is mostly due to allegy to certain foods or meds, or scratching, tight fitting cloths, cold air or water, exposure to sunlight, or exercise.
