A member asked:
Will an oral atihistimine help with skin allergies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: It depends on what type of skin allergy symptoms you have. In general, skin allergies are often referred to dermatitis and hives. Antihistamine is the initial treatment of choice for hives. In dermatitis, it helps decrease pruritus or itchy sensation but does not treat the underlying inflammation.
