Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Allergist vs Dermatologist: Any competent specialist in either field would help you, now that it is there for 4 months it became chronic, there are several other antihistamines than loratadine to deal with your case in different dose regimens, beside other medicines if needed, more important is history, examination and probably some investigations, good luck
