How do you manage a solar urticaria allergy?

Sunblocker: If truly it's caused by sun, sunblockers might help, favoring the ones can block uva. Antihistamines might be used to relieve the symptoms.

Betacarotene: In addition to sunblocks, and antihistamines to decrease symptoms, betacarotene 1-8 pills a day may decrease solar urticiaria. At higher doses the skin will turn an orange color like carrots, but this is temporary.
