Thanks for educating us through this contents. Really appreciate. I have treated this strange infection. It comes and goes when taking my medication as prescribed by my doctor. I discovered after my medication, gradually within couple of days my palm will start itching me. Please kindly help me with tips

Great video

Thanks!

Packet food is a new information for me. It was really frustrating not knowing the trigger for my 4 YO. I will get rid of that type of food and see if they will reduce. Thanks a lot doctor!

[@Dermatocare_com]

Not all packed food are trigger and you would have to figure out by omitting all and introducing one item per week

Thank you for the very informative video. I have hives with occasional angioedema of either upper or lower lip for almost a year now. At first, I thought I got bitten by some microscopic mites on my old job,because it all started when the office where I work was being renovated and the ceiling was broken to fix some leak from upstairs. It is about a week after that I started getting bitten at first on my feet and then literally,through my clothing.the building is more than a 100years old so imagine what kind of pests can possibly be lurking between the walls and ceilings.of course, the hole in the ceiling was left open for the next 3 months, and I continued to get bitten worse and worse, until one evening,my upper lip blew up making me look like Daisy Duck,the next day I went to the doctor,who had no idea what was wrong,but he gave me a liquid steroid and a prescription for prednisone .of course everything went back to normal as soon as I drank the liquid steroid. I then started taking the prednisone for the next week,as I was only given 10 pills. I don’t take any medication whatsoever so you can imagine how much I hated having to take the prednisone. I took 8 of the 10 pills and I was ok,but I wasn’t taking them daily, only as needed.when I stopped taking them ,3days later the hives and angioedema came back with a vengeance, and I have been suffering continuously ever since then.a local pharmacist told me I should take Zyrtec for the hives and angioedema. I followed his advice and have been able to somewhat control the hives , and I don’t really get angioedema that much anymore,but the hives are still a nuisance. I take 2 gêner Zyrtecs every 2 or 3 days, otherwise I would scratch myself to death,because the hives are very itchy.what do you recommend? I really hate medication and I have no intention to take antihistamines for the rest of my life. I am 50years old,and I have this problem for almost a year now, I have never had any allergies in my life,except a suspected tomato allergy (but that was self inflicted, I love tomatoes and overdosed on them, but I haven’t had a raw tomato in 25 years).please help!!!

[@Dermatocare_com]

As I have mentioned that you should take Zyrtec in a frequency that you don’t get hives. There is no point taking at gap that does not prevent the attack. If you wish we can do a video consult, here is the link calendly.com/dermatocare/online-consultation?month=2024-07

[@eddielim8702]

I have this problem in the past year. My symptoms started with itchy on some part of my body and eventually felt itchiness from head to toe. Once I reached this stage I went into serve drowsiness and vision completely blurred. Taking anti histamine medication helped me recovered every time I had this attack. I am not sure what is wrong with my condition which seems serious.

[@Dermatocare_com]

You probably have a severe allergic reaction to something. If it is happening episodically, please make a trigger diary. You might not get these symptoms if you can avoid the trigger. Watch this video for common triggers. But the list is not exhaustive!

[@mztellit0026]

I only get hives in my face! It’s miserable. I thought it was a hair product. However it occurred again on Christmas for the first time after about 7 of 8 months. Only thing I can think different was the flu shot, I washed my hair with new product, or the Lima beans I ate. I’ve had flare up for 2 days straight now. I took citrizine tonight. Hoping it helps! Wondering should I get allergy test??

[@Dermatocare_com]

Take cetrizine for altleast 10 days to stop acute episode once for all. If you are getting episodic hives, allergy test might help.

[@mindymattics7519]

I get hives about every 4 to 6 weeks. All over my body, scalp, up my nose, in my ears and down my throat. They have lasted up to 2 weeks. I have them now as we speak. I am going on 5 days. Most of my hives are internal, but I do get some that surface. I have tried benadryl, zyrtec, singular, prednisone and nothing seems to help. I have even gone as far as try the brand" Aveeno" in the shampoo, body wash and lotion. So far no results. My itching really gets bad at night.

[@Dermatocare_com]

You should consult ENT specialist as well.. it could be something else!

How to get rid of hives i got hives when am in bed and relaxed my legs the redness of it will gone but once i will stand up and move it comes back again. Why is it like that. It been a week and still there. Been to a doctor and she gave me meds but still hives still there. What ahould i do? To get rid of it.

[@Dermatocare_com]

This could indicate cholinergic urticaria, which means once your body heats up ...you get hives. But just walking is not a usual trigger. If hives are getting better, then the up-dosing of medication by your doctor would control them.

[@johncenamore1996]

I also have this problem every time I went exercise or eat out

[@Dermatocare_com]

The first treatment at home is over-the-counter anti-allergics like Cetrizine. Hope you are better now

[@koaminsamudera235]

Same here. I itch almost 2 years. Visited many doctors, but no clue what's the cause. Steroid helps, but only temporary. Doctor only said live a stress free life😅

[@Dermatocare_com]

We can’t find reason in urticaria cases that go on such long. However, you might have triggers that can exacerbate your episodes. Better to take anti histaminic regularly than take steroids

[@krishnap7260]

Please tell me how can I cure cholinergic urticaria

[@Dermatocare_com]

You would have to take anti allergic and avoid exercises that leads to sudden heating of body.
