Hives getting worse with clothes!!?


My clothes are scraping my skin and spreading my hives all around my legs and I dont wanna stand in my underwear! I can't even bend my knees because there's bumps behind my knee that are spreading to my thigh!


HELP!!! (And no, dont say benadryl pls.)

Is there any quick fix (home remedy) that I can put on to relieve the bumps and make them shrivel?!

(I already went to a doctor. Plz just help me)

Get yourself some nettle tea and prepare a strong solution, chill this down and then dab this liberally all over where the hives are. I would also drink nettle tea as it is anti-histaminic internally too.

Or try this Emergency Relief remedy:
"Equal parts distilled witch hazel and aloe vera gel kept in a spray dispenser in the fridge 鈥?shake before use and spray on affected part when required (not to be used for cold-induced urticaria)......" Quoted from and more info:

Have you tried changing your washing powder. It could be that this is contributing to the allergic reaction or making matters worse at least. Try washing your clothes one of those washing powders designed for babies with sensitive skins for a while at least. That is: avoid biological washing powders at least until you get the hives under control.
Same applies to your bedding. Plus I would stick to wearing cotton for the time being and preferably loose clothes.

Hope this helps and I hope you get better quickly.
God bless.

I agree with everything gene purrs said, plus bathe in luke-warm water with baking soda in it. You can also make a paste of this and spread it on the hives- messy but may help.
There is a solution of calamine lotion and benadryl (there, I said it) that you put on the hives, and it does help get rid of them without the side effects of taking benadryl by mouth.
You could try taking an over-the-counter antihistamine called Claritan, (loratidine)- it doesn't have the side effects either.
And maybe, along the washing powder line, you should try and find some that is hypoallergenic- no perfumes or dyes.
Good luck- I know how miserable hives can be !
