What is Cholinergic Urticaria ?
Cholinergic urticaria (CU) is a chronic inducible form of urticaria provoked by a rise in body temperature, leading to small wheals and itching. It is very prevalent in young adults, particularly males.
Cholinergic Urticaria Causes
CU is believed to be caused by an abnormal response to:
Acetylcholine (neurotransmitter that triggers sweating).
Sweat substances, possibly implicating IgE-mediated allergy against one’s own sweat proteins.
Mast cell degradation with release of histamine and other mediators results in wheals and itching.
Subtypes Of Cholinergic Urticaria
CU may be classified into:
- Conventional CU: Classic small wheels with pruritus
- Cholinergic urticaria with anhidrosis/hypohidrosis: Sweating that is reduced or absent; more severe and more difficult to treat
- Follicular-type CU: Papules centered around hair follicles
- Cholinergic urticaria with palpebral angioedema: Eyelid swelling

FAQS –
1.Cholinergic Urticaria can be cured ?
Homeopathy wants to trigger the body’s inherent healing process and balance the immune response. A few patients find lasting relief, particularly with constitutional treatment, though. Results differ widely among people.
2 How long does Cholinergic Urticaria last ?
Acute relief: Some individuals might find relief in itching or hives in days or weeks.
Chronic or deep-seated cases: May require several months for long-term improvement, particularly if the condition has been present for years. Patience and follow-up are essential.
3 Can I treat cholinergic urticaria with homeopathy myself?
Although OTC homeopathic remedies can treat mild symptoms, chronic or persistent cases of cholinergic urticaria are best treated by a skilled homeopath. Individualized prescribing is more effective than blanket methods.
4 Do diet or lifestyle changes help homeopathy work better?
Yes. Homeopaths usually suggest:
Not overheating or wearing tight clothing.
Restricting spicy food, alcohol, and caffeine if these cause symptoms.
Stress management, as stress is a frequent precipitating factor.
A trigger diary.
5 Can homeopathy be of benefit if I have multiple allergies or urticaria varieties?
Yes. Homeopathy addresses the person as a whole, so if you have several allergic tendencies (e.g., hay fever, eczema, hives), a constitutional remedy can alleviate all of them
