My doctor says I have dermotographic urticaria. Anyone else out there have any tips/ know how to deal with it?

Basically, I get hives in any spot where pressure is put on my skin. It's pretty annoying and embarassing. People are always asking me what happened to my skin, and those hives are really itchy, too. It's gotten to where I can't even blow my nose because when I squeeze my nose the hives erupt on the inside and they're itchy so I start to sneeze -endless process. The dermatologist gave me a histamin blocker, but I had to stop taking it because, even when I quartered it I was too sleepy to function. I figure that I can find some homeopathic ways to help myself. Anybody know any, please? Thanks in advance for answers!

An antihistamine is definately the best way to treat this. if the one you got makes you sleepy, let the doctor know so they can switch it to something else. There are some out there that don't make people tired. I feel for you. I hate being itchy!

I think there's an ointment for that.

bekkah take 2 tablespoons of pure honey right before sleep each night

Talk to your Doctor, I'm sure there's something else he can give you, like ointments.
I have itchy spots on my legs and ankles, I use clear calamine lotion, it helps the itch somewhat. Sorry, I don't have more, but I know how that itching is.
Good Luck
