Accepted Answer

? Chronic urticaria: May be also physical urticaria, or something at work that triggers your symptoms, stress can, keep taking a second generation antihistamine  regularly if you're already taking it as needed, or start an OTC one, unless contraindicate.  See an allergist/ dermatologist, check aaaai.org or acaai.org for an allergist in your area, good luck

: Get allergy testing next and see what that tells you to avoid.

Question 4

my doctor was looking for what caused my urticaria but my blood work said i had mycoplasma.?? but i itch badly in heat. i need serious help.

Accepted Answer

? Cholinergic: urticaria, or other form of urticaria, better be sorted out by your doctor who might refer you, meanwhile you need to take antihistamines on regular basis whether you have symptoms or not, caution not to drive if you get sedated, your doctor might start you on cyproheptadine, an antihistaminic used to treat cholinergic urticaria, if you truly have it, take care

Question 5

what to do if i have hives, should i go to work tomorrow?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends how widespread your hives are, you may need to see your doctor first.

Question 6

what does it mean if i took a medication and i got really bad hives?

Accepted Answer

Don't take it!: The probability is that you are allergic to that medication and should avoid it. Depending on the particular medication subsequent reactions could be more severe, even life threatening. If the hives persist other possible causes of urticaria (hives) should be considered.

Question 7

after taking my shower i break out in hives this started about 10 days ago some days thire real bad other days light they go away in 3-4 hours?

Accepted Answer

Hives: Likely cholinergic urticaria, hives induced by body heat. Consider cooler/shorter shower to see if triggering is decreased. Treatment generally begins with daily long-acting antihistamine, but know that in at risk populations (such as elderly), the anticholinergic side effects (confusion, urinary retention, sedation, etc) are a concern. Discuss with your doctor.

Question 8

bad itching from hives how do i get it to stop?

Accepted Answer

Antihistamine: Try antihistamine up to 4 x daily and apply moisturizer on body

Question 9

why do i break out in bad hives when it rains or when its humid?

Accepted Answer

Partial explanation.: Although inhalation of mold spores can rarely cause hives in people who are allergic to them , mold counts are usually elevated after the rain especially when it is followed by hot, windy, and dry days.   When the weather is humid, certain molds (ascospores) may release spores but when it is raining all of the spores are washed down. Mold allergy is more likely if you have hay fever or asthma.

Question 10

i had streriod shot last thursday for my hives how long does it take to. work?

Accepted Answer

See a dermatologist: A steroid shot is not a treatment of choice for hives. Due to blood transfusion? Was it really necessary? Do you really have hives, or something else? How long have you had this? Ever before? Using antihistamine? Which one at which dose? Why estrogen AND Premarin (conjugated estrogens) AND Provera??? No wonder you are bleeding.
