See allergists: If the condition is controlled by high dose antihistamine (benadryl (diphenhydramine) may not be the best choice since it makes one drowsy), you may just continue on it. If not, then you should consult an allergist since there are other options besides prednisone.

Very difficult topic: Nobody knows, but suspicion exists that the allergy is directed at your own tissues.
