I have hives for 6 months long, what should i do to treat?

See an allergist: The treatment for chronic hives (hives lasting longer than 6 weeks) is antihistamines and now Xolair (approved this spring). Xolair is a biological antibody injection now approved for treating chronic hives. Your allergist can provide more details including risks and benefits. Although it is expensive, there are patient assistance programs that can help. It is definitely worth checking into.
