Pcp said scabies. permitherim 4x. no change. went to derm. did scraping. derm said not scabies but urticaria. got script for allergy pills. no help.

Stay with the derm: call or see again your dermatologist, urticaria at times is hard to control, different medicines may be needed or extra doses of the allergy pills you were prescribed, but that need to be verified by the dermatologist, at times a biopsy may be needed or a blood work and other studies. Second or even a third opinion is your right, but first revisit your dermatologist, good luck

If my urticaria appears on the scalp and face, can it be presumed that I'm allergic to a specific food group? My allergy can appear any day, any hour.
