Any tips for patients suffering from chronic urticaria?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See an allergist: When hives last longer than 6 weeks, it is called chronic urticaria. There are a few lab work up that need to be done. To control symptoms, there are several layers of medication at our disposal to treat this condition. It usually starts with an antihistamine. We allergist are specialized in diagnosing and treating this condition.
