Answers:
Does anywhere else on your body get itchy when it becomes hot too.? If so then I think it might be Cholinergic Urticaria. Cholinergic urticaria is a subcategory of physical urticaria (aka hives) that is a skin rash brought on by a hypersensitive reaction to body heat. I'm not sure about how to cure it, I think you just have find out what triggers it, and stop exposing yourself to those things: for example, becoming over excercised, staying out in the sun too much, taking really HOT showers, wearing lighter breathing clothes, etc. Those are just a few of the most common triggers though, theres many many more.

Heres a couple sites that go more in-depth about Cholinergic Urticaria, and I'm sure they can tell you more about it than I can. I hope this helped, and good luck with everything!
