Thank you for the very informative video. I have hives with occasional angioedema of either upper or lower lip for almost a year now. At first, I thought I got bitten by some microscopic mites on my old job,because it all started when the office where I work was being renovated and the ceiling was broken to fix some leak from upstairs. It is about a week after that I started getting bitten at first on my feet and then literally,through my clothing.the building is more than a 100years old so imagine what kind of pests can possibly be lurking between the walls and ceilings.of course, the hole in the ceiling was left open for the next 3 months, and I continued to get bitten worse and worse, until one evening,my upper lip blew up making me look like Daisy Duck,the next day I went to the doctor,who had no idea what was wrong,but he gave me a liquid steroid and a prescription for prednisone .of course everything went back to normal as soon as I drank the liquid steroid. I then started taking the prednisone for the next week,as I was only given 10 pills. I don’t take any medication whatsoever so you can imagine how much I hated having to take the prednisone. I took 8 of the 10 pills and I was ok,but I wasn’t taking them daily, only as needed.when I stopped taking them ,3days later the hives and angioedema came back with a vengeance, and I have been suffering continuously ever since then.a local pharmacist told me I should take Zyrtec for the hives and angioedema. I followed his advice and have been able to somewhat control the hives , and I don’t really get angioedema that much anymore,but the hives are still a nuisance. I take 2 gêner Zyrtecs every 2 or 3 days, otherwise I would scratch myself to death,because the hives are very itchy.what do you recommend? I really hate medication and I have no intention to take antihistamines for the rest of my life. I am 50years old,and I have this problem for almost a year now, I have never had any allergies in my life,except a suspected tomato allergy (but that was self inflicted, I love tomatoes and overdosed on them, but I haven’t had a raw tomato in 25 years).please help!!!
I've been searching a lot of information. You sum it up all. Well done.
I had major skin rashes for years and then I FINALLY realized it was the perfume in my laundry detergent and dryer sheets.
Did you get rid of hives by avoiding this trigger.

Thanks Doc for the information about that allergy God Bless
I am so grateful for sharing your valuable medical information with us may Lord Jesus bless you with greater wisdom
I never had hives until I switched my shampoo & conditioner to one with keratin in it. Its been a nightmare ever since....
Thanks for educating us through this contents. Really appreciate.
I have treated this strange infection. It comes and goes when taking my medication as prescribed by my doctor.
I discovered after my medication, gradually within couple of days my palm will start itching me. Please kindly help me with tips
Thank you
Thank you so much
Packet food is a new information for me. It was really frustrating not knowing the trigger for my 4 YO. I will get rid of that type of food and see if they will reduce. Thanks a lot doctor!
Not all packed food are trigger and you would have to figure out by omitting all and introducing one item per week
Thanks
Great video
Thanks!
I have this problem in the past year. My symptoms started with itchy on some part of my body and eventually felt itchiness from head to toe. Once I reached this stage I went into serve drowsiness and vision completely blurred. Taking anti histamine medication helped me recovered every time I had this attack. I am not sure what is wrong with my condition which seems serious.
You probably have a severe allergic reaction to something. If it is happening episodically, please make a trigger diary. You might not get these symptoms if you can avoid the trigger. Watch this video for common triggers. But the list is not exhaustive!

I only get hives in my face! It’s miserable. I thought it was a hair product. However it occurred again on Christmas for the first time after about 7 of 8 months. Only thing I can think different was the flu shot, I washed my hair with new product, or the Lima beans I ate. I’ve had flare up for 2 days straight now. I took citrizine tonight. Hoping it helps! Wondering should I get allergy test??
Take cetrizine for altleast 10 days to stop acute episode once for all. If you are getting episodic hives, allergy test might help.
I get hives about every 4 to 6 weeks. All over my body, scalp, up my nose, in my ears and down my throat. They have lasted up to 2 weeks. I have them now as we speak. I am going on 5 days. Most of my hives are internal, but I do get some that surface. I have tried benadryl, zyrtec, singular, prednisone and nothing seems to help. I have even gone as far as try the brand" Aveeno" in the shampoo, body wash and lotion. So far no results. My itching really gets bad at night.
You should consult ENT specialist as well.. it could be something else!
My wife have it
How to get rid of hives i got hives when am in bed and relaxed my legs the redness of it will gone but once i will stand up and move it comes back again. Why is it like that. It been a week and still there. Been to a doctor and she gave me meds but still hives still there. What ahould i do? To get rid of it.
This could indicate cholinergic urticaria, which means once your body heats up ...you get hives. But just walking is not a usual trigger. If hives are getting better, then the up-dosing of medication by your doctor would control them.
I also have this problem every time I went exercise or eat out
My hives appear 3 days..before i got fever then i took parcetamol,fever has gone ,the following day my hives expand too wide almost 1 left leg around,,iwill see my doctor now,,what the first home treatment for hives?? Doctora,,thank you po..from philippines
The first treatment at home is over-the-counter anti-allergics like Cetrizine. Hope you are better now
I'm suffering urticaria for almost 8 years until now..😢.I don't know where this came from.
Same here. I itch almost 2 years. Visited many doctors, but no clue what's the cause. Steroid helps, but only temporary. Doctor only said live a stress free life😅
We can’t find reason in urticaria cases that go on such long. However, you might have triggers that can exacerbate your episodes.
Better to take anti histaminic regularly than take steroids
I have hypothyroidsm 100 mg thyronorm tk daily tft result normal..bsl nml..IgE+b12 also nml
Still urticaria cntnu almost 1 yr ho gya tblet lye tk km lgta thn restart😢😢

Please reduce tablet slowly. do not stop all of sudden.
@@Dermatocare_com tablets for urticaria reduce slowly?or thyronorm?
@@naushinhashmi2318 hi bro, I am also suffering from same and take thyronorm daily. Did your hives disappeared? Did you find what is the trigger.
Please tell me how can I cure cholinergic urticaria
You would have to take anti allergic and avoid exercises that leads to sudden heating of body.
@@Dermatocare_com I thought sweating helps rid of histamines? Some say it helps. My wife has relief when she goes to a ozone sauna.
The sun...ugh...
Its almost half a year but have never had any peaceful day bse of hives😢😢😢 the antihistamines ain't working as well
You might have to try a new dug called Omalizumab if your IgE levels are high and your dermatologist decides that it is a good option for you.
@@Dermatocare_comif IG levels are low then should one take it pls advise been suffering for last 6 months due to side effect of nsiads
Am having hives 3 days before my periods and 3 days after periods. But I don't know how much you can help me. Thi is 5 years old suffering from these hives
You might have autoimmune progesterone dermatitis. Kindly see a dermatologist for this.
@@Dermatocare_comit is ok to take levocetirizine 10mg for longer of time? Thanks
@@Zegen750 Yes, you can until hives get better, however, shift to 5 mg if your body weight is around 60 kgs.
@@Dermatocare_com shift to 10mg? My weight is 87kg..
I mostly get a night why is that
That's common for lot of patients. take anti-histaminic at night
Ano Yong gives insects bites byan
I don’t understand you at all speak English please .
Itching during night 😢
Take your anti-allergy medicines at night daily as suggested in this video and reduce gradually.
Iv been taking anti histamine almost daily for 3 years
Try taking them on alternate days now provided you do not get any itching or hives at all. If you get it, then switch back to daily.
@@Dermatocare_com been trying since i watched your video. If i miss 1st day then the 2nd day the itch is more severe. Thank you
@@adamkaan8025 Then unfortunately you can't reduce it!
