What's the best treatment of urticaria..if there is any?


I guess, anti histamines work on the symptoms...is there actually a cure for urticaria? there must be some medication which can tell my body's immunological system not to react in the way it does when it comes in contact with the allergen (seemingly inocuous substances)..

lacitrex

Benadryl

stay away from your allergen

The best thing to do first would to be to find out what is causing the urticaria. The other treatments I have seen as a RN of 23 years is steroid creams, or pills, but that isn't a long term solution. Your doctor will probably send you to an Allergist, and if they can find out what you are allergic to, or the cause, then the treatment would be more specific. In the meantime, you can try the over the counter creams that have cortisone in them, or the ones that combine Benadryl with Calamine lotion, or try some of the products that have oatmeal in them. That will at least sooth you until you can get a more definitive treatment. Good luck.

Do you have chronic urticaria (hives lasting longer than 6 weeks)? If so, check out www.chronichives.com for more info.
