What are your urticaria triggers?

I’m curious what other’s urticaria triggers are. Mine are pressure, hot or cold, tight clothing, activity/exercise, getting a scratch, and standing in one spot too long.

I have sheets that go into the refrigerator and I apply those to my body. It's not comfortable but better than itching. I would love to take a hot shower, but it aggravates everything.

I have dermatography which is a systemic response to pressure. I also found Grierson-Gopalan syndrome. Interesting read but unpleasant sensation. I take 4 Zyrtec every day. And 3 h2 antihistamine as well as xoliair injections and still have the itching. I have nearly ruin the skin on my feet.

I take a non drowsy antihistamine each morning like xyzol. But when my feet do break out in hives I run cold water over them and then elevate them. Then just wait for the itching to subside
