Is the itching driving you crazy? Find out how you can make it stop.
I broke out in hives last night, and woke up with tiny pale red dots on my hands and arms, and bigger ones on my knees and the back of my neck. My mom is going to call my doctor because I recently had an ear infection and I’m still on antibiotics for that. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had any treatment methods or anything for my hives. They are really bothering me and I have to drive and observe today for two hours for driver’s training! 
I was wondering if you can develop a tolerance to antihistamines such as benadryl if taken often, i.e. will it become insufficient like alcohol to alcoholics and antibiotics for bacteria?
And while we’re on the subject, i get hives very frequently and was wondering if anyone knows any good treatment besides benadryl.
thanks much
I started taking minocycline 3 weeks ago for the treatment of acne. Several hours ago, I began to itch in several spots, and within the past few hours, have developed large raised hives. These hives are located over various areas of my body in varying sizes, some about the size of a pencil eraser, others 4+ inches in diameter. Are these most likely linked to the use of the antibiotics or is it more likely something I ate / other environmental toxin? I have no other abnormal symptoms aside from the recent itching and hives.
