Can you tell me is there any way to prevent hives?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Avoid trigger: The best way to prevent hives is to avoid the trigger of the hives. Sometimes the trigger can not be found (idiopathic), An antihistamine can help decrease the itching that goes along with hives. An allergist can assist in helping find the trigger and the right treatment to minimize hives. Hives can be very frustrating to patients and even doctors who treat them!
