A member asked:
I seem to be allergic to my own skin. allergy meds helps some, but stress negates that. pressure/itching causes hives and welts. help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chronic hives: Sounds like you have chronic hives brought on by a combination of different triggers including stress, pressure and scratching. It is often necessary to take higher than normal doses of antihistamines or even combinations of antihistamines or other medicines. See an allergist for diagnosis and management of this often frustrating condition.
