I get bouts of hive when my body heats up but I’m not able to sweat, for example, in cold weather, under duress, any extreme emotion. And the pain is best described as hot needles being pushed out of my skin. The pain travels downward in waves from my face to my chest. On one occasion I collapsed from the pain. It’s twice as worse as a beesting and it’s constant.
Why is something that is caused by something as innocuous as histamine capable of driving me to my knees?

So… Hives are normally an allergic reaction, and they tend to itch.
You have a different issue, which apparently some people call “prickly heat” from your pores being clogged. If it is a serious issue and you wash yourself thoroughly using hot water, it is something you should probably talk to a doctor about. I have experienced it before, though not nearly as intensely as you describe, and it went away on its own.
