Dermatographic urticaria. diagnosed at 30 yrs old. never had before. why? how to treat? trying many antihist to see if any help.

Derm Urticaria: Antihistamines can be tried as you are doing,... They prevent histamine from causing the reaction. These may need to be given as a combination of H1 antagonists, or possibly with an H2-receptor antagonist such as cimetidine. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs have long been used to treat urticaria in the Asian world and may be beneficial. Good luck.
