Ok so I had some allergic reaction to something yesterday and I have hives now. I’ve used Benadryl to try and get rid of them but nothing has really happened. A lot of the spots have gone away, but then it’s popped up in new places, and when those spots have disappeared, it’s come back where it was before. I took a cold shower today and I felt better, but it still didn’t go away. We went to the doctors today and they gave me a perscription for some steroids. (not the ones that Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens took) I have to take these for 6 days. Is there any other methods of treatment I can use, and what things should I avoid from doing?
Oh yeah, and I’ve been using HydroCortis0ne Lotion.

I have been suffering with hives since last January I also have swelling of my lips and eyes. I have been to a specialist who says I am not allergic to any thing that he can find. I feel flushed alot have itchy hands and sometimes suffer from extreme anal itch. My bowel movements have increased and I have acid reflux sometimes. I have gained a few extra pounds and my breathing seems heavy at times. I am constantly tired and I stay hot. I have been to the doctor and the emergency room numerous times and all they do is prescribe me with short term steroids and a allergy medication similar to benadryl. I feel as though I am going crazy, I cannot find a specific pattern with my sweling or hives or a specific culprit. My insides seem to burn alot but this could be nerves because of frustration with my problem. HELP I am going crazy people should not have to live like this although their doctors tell them they have to.
They look like hives and appear out of nowhere. I have taken her to the doctors and they can’t explain anything. Nothing has changed around the house; no new products or anything she could be allergic to. They are red splots with what look like swollen mosquito bites on her arms and legs and her cheeks. Once they appear the generally disappear in an hour. what is it?
Hi,
I have hives on my arms, shoulders, back (very few or none) and neck (stops at jaw bone). All the hives, except for my neck are blotches. My neck has a big blotch that cover the majority of my neck. Sometimes hives are puffier than other. It also have different shades of red at times.I have seen four doctors multiple times. Each time they give me a shampoo or cream to apply. They go away for a few weeks and then reappear. They never go away without treatment. No matter the period of time. Just different amounts of hives.
I have lately developed external hemmroids, I am in my early 20s!!
I have history in my family of most major cancers.
Too, how are they easily relieved if the itch is unbearable..Calamine lotion doesn’t seem to do the best of a job. Doctors have told me to give my son Benadryl, but what I really want to know is what causes it.? My son has had them about 4-5 times in his life and I think it ocurs with him whenever he’s having an allergic reaction to something or if he’s sleeping over at a relative’s house.
