Water Allergy

Water allergy, also known as aquagenic urticaria, is a rare condition where the skin reacts to water exposure. When water touches the skin, it can cause painful hives, redness, and itching. The exact cause isn't well understood, but it is believed to involve a chemical reaction rather than an immune response. Individuals with this condition may experience symptoms from all types of water, including rain or sweat. Managing water allergy typically requires avoiding water contact or using antihistamines to alleviate symptoms. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment options.
