An allergist is the one giving me the xolair shots and is watching my prednisone intake. a dermatologist did a biopsy that was inconclusive, and sent me to the allergist. i am just looking for alternative treatments ?

Another dermatologis: If your problem is an undiagnosed skin eruption, perhaps you should consult a dermatologist at a major teaching hospital where various skilled dermatologists are on staff.Bring copies of your records and slides of your skin biopsy which will be very helpful and may avoid duplicate testing.

For?: I am guessing you have chronic hives, but it sounds like a virtual consult would be most appropriate. A physician practiced in treating refractory hives would need to know more about the duration, frequency/severity, co-existing symptoms, triggers, work-up to date and medications tried before offering an opinion on potential alternatives. Good luck to you, this is a frustrating scenario.

What diagnosis?: Presumably you've been diagnosed w/chronic urticaria.
