2nd time in 2months to break out in hives , narrowed source to my birth control. will a steroid shot and stopping the pills keep full blown hives away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If the ocs are at fault then stopping the med should solve the problem. A short course of Prednisone such as a steroid dose pack will also help.
