Can body heat generate a itchy skin condition to occur?

Can body heat generate an itchy skin condition to occur without causing bumps, rash, hives? With this condition, a person scratches to the point of causing redness, red streaks, raised bumps. Is there such a condition? Is it a food allergy, an environmental allergy? This condition worsens at night and after bath time. Also flares up when person's temperature rises - "hot".

i dont think the heat's generating it...its more like they're both the effects of sumthin
Reply:I am not a doctor but it sounds like a form of eczema which I occasionally get bouts of. I find it flares up sometimes when it's hot/humid, and certainly you notice the redness more after bathing/showering (this is a common indication). It's very common and not contagious. See a doctor or dermatologist for treatment.
Reply:Yes. In babies it's called diaper rash, in men it's called Jock itch...it's a heat rash basically. The best thing for it is prevention. Don't sleep in tight clothes, don't leave damp clothes on (for instance after working out or exercising in the heat), wash with gentle soaps. If it doesn't go away you'll need a fugicide, but see your doctor to get the right one for you.
