Allergist: Cholinergic urticaria can be very hard to treat me. Typically, I start with antihistamines. Often very high doses are needed. There Are some other options if that isn't working. I recommend seeing a board site certified allergist for further evaluation. Septea is not used for cholinergic urticaria.
