Cold makes my skin itch like crazy. It can be from picking up a cold beverage in either a can or paper cup or from just going outside in temps below about 40. It can be my toes, soles of my feet, or even my ears.

The itch and burning is extreme. I asked an acquaintance who is a newly licenced dermatologist and he said he had never heard of anything like this.

It is definitely not psychsomatic. I have worked in hospitals and have an advanced degree in human physiology and I know and understand what a psychosomatic condition is. This is truly an intolerable sensitvity to cold, especially wet cold. It seems that any part of my body that touches something very cold for more than a few seconds becomes inflamed and itches horribly.

Has anyone ever heard of such a condition?
