A member asked:
What to do if i have chronic urticaria and hoping weight loss advice can help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Won't Help: Weight loss is a good idea anytime, but it is unrelated to your chronic urticaria. Urticaria is usually caused by a non-specific stimulation of the allergic side of your immune system. While hives and weight gain can be stress related.
