Antihistamines: Urticaria is a sign of a n allergic reaction. Taking antihistamines should give you some relief. Is there anything your legs come in contact with that seems to trigger the urticaria. If so, avoid it.

Urticaria: Unfortunately there is no cure for hives, they come and go as they please, but an antihistamine can help control them better, so a daily Allegra (fexofenadine) or zyrtec should do the trick.
