Urticaria problem..ichting of skin n welts?
I'm not a dermatologist, but a chronic hiver who has had chronic idiopathic urticarial vasculitis for 7 years. Urticaria is not worms nor bacteria, it is caused by the over production of histamines in your system due to allergy, underlying disease or illness or for no apparent reason at all. It sounds like the doctor is like most, trying to manage the disease with anti-histamines and the fact that the hives return when you go off of them indicates to me you are idiopathic, too, no known reason.





As for home remedies, you can take baths in collodial oatmeal for itching relief. I also add epsom salts because I get muscle and joint pain along with the hives. Some people find cromlyn cream helpful and you can find a recipe as to how to make it at urticaria@yahoogroups.com along with diets and other hiver's suggestions, experiences and medical information about urticaria.
