wat can i do?
pls help me...

I'm guessing you know all about this problem though I put the info in for you and others.

I'm sorry you are so upset about having this, I can only suggest 2 things. Take a look at the cancer site and be glad you are not asking a question there and then see if you can get some counselling to help you cope with the problem. Once you can see' it as something not so huge and overwhelming, you will feel better. I wish you all the best.

Obviously, the most important thing is to stay warm. Some air conditioned rooms and pools may be too cold for the skin. Warming up immediately usually aids in the relief of the itching.

Allergy medications such as Benadryl, Zyrtec, and Allegra may be taken to prevent and get rid of hives. Cold hives can result in a potentially serious, or even fatal, systemic reaction. People with cold hives may have to carry an injectable form of epinephrine (like Epi-pen or Twinject) for use in the event of a serious reaction.

A reaction may even occur on a warm day when there is sweat on the skin. If there is a breeze it will rapidly cool the skin and create hives. Getting warm quickly by drying the skin and covering up will help to control the hives before they get too bad.

Swimming can be especially dangerous as the rapid heart rate combined with the onset of hives can lead to hypotension. Taking an allergy medication before entering the water and conserving energy until your body adjusts to the temperature may help to prevent the hypotension.

Contrary to popular belief, immersing the affected area in hot water or a warmer environment does not improve conditions.

I feel it is allergy to some thing. Don,t neglect it. It is not stop-cock medication but U need constitutional remedy. Either consoult a homeopath or a good Ayurvedic Doctor/naturopath. OK?
