I have been breastfeeding my daughter since she was born with no problems at all. That changed about a week before her first birthday, I started to get hives on the sides of my breasts and tummy. They were not really bad but have gotten worse over the past 7 weeks, they are on my legs and arms now. I did not change my diet or soap and the only pills I take are my prenatals. The only thing that I can possibly link it to is hormones because The week after the hives started I got my period back for the first time since getting pregnant. I dont want to stop breastfeeding, my daughter isnt on whole milk yet, she drinks a little at a time but not enough, and she still nurses to sleep at night. I was just wanting to know what i can do to help with the hives, creams dont really hlep that much so i was thinking about benadryl or something but want to make sure it is safe for my daughter. Any advice will help, Thanks
So this is the strangest thing. it has been on and off but I have red bumps that look like hives running up both my legs and my groin (above it anyway). Occasional my groin will get dry, scaly, and it is severely painful and itchy. The bumps aren’t really itchy but it is disturbing and I want to know if anyone can help. I’ve asked my doctor and he thinks it’s Jock Itch but this has been persistent for 5 years now even after anti-fungal treatment. I don’t think it isn’t sexually transmitted as this happened before I lost my virginity so I am puzzled still. Please help!
Almost every night for the past three weeks, around 8 pm, my legs have been breaking out in this red, splotchy rash. They itch and sting but usually go away before morning. I try and change my schedule, not do the same things or be in the same place, but it shows up anyway.
Friday night I broke out in hives all over my chest and shoulders. Then they disappeared from my chest and shoulders and moved to my forearms and legs. I took Benadryl and used anti-itch cream, and by morning I was totally clear. I was fine all of yesterday, but then after supper I had just a few little tiny dots and some patches return. I haven’t been eating anything that I don’t normally eat, so I don’t think it’s a food allergy. We have no new lotions, shampoos, laundry detergents, or anything.
I did get the Gardasil shot, but that was a month ago, so I don’t think that has anything to do with it. I was also on Provera treatment for 10 days at the beginning of the month, but I’ve been off of that for a couple weeks now. The only thing I can think of is that it’s the virus that I have. I’ve had a bad cough all week, and kind of a cold, so could that be it? Any ideas anyone?
My son was prescribed zithromax for pnemonia 3 days ago. After 2 doses, he begain to get a rash on his legs. I gave him benedryl and put him to bed . When he woke up this morning, he had hives all over his body. We went back to the doctor, and he recommended continuing the zithromax and adding prednisolone (steroids) and atarax (for itching). I would appreciate if a medical professional could explain the rationale for this action- as opposed to just changing the antibiotic. Thank you!
BTW, the pneumonia symptoms are improving
Our 3yr. old Lab breaks out in hives due to an acute allergy from something. We had to rush him to the emergency vet last night coz he had tiny bumps on his skin all over his body- head, legs , back, everywhere. The vet said he had an acute allergy to something and gave him a Benadryl shot. No one has been able to tell us why this is happeneng and this is the second time it has occured. One vet suggested that we get his blood tested to see what he is allergic to and that they could give him a shot to cure it. Only problem is, it could cost 0 + thru the course of a year to get him treated that way, and we would have this problem for the rest of his life. We can’t afford to spend that kind of money every year but we want him to stop suffering. Is there any holistic remedy or herbal treatment for him to where he’s not having to take shots or pop pills for the rest of his life just to be himself?
He’s feeling miserable and I hate seeing him suffer like this. Please help.
I’ve had hives for almost 6 weeks now. I am under a bit of stress. hahaha understatement. Anyway I don’t want to take pills to releive the stress so any idea on how to deal with my hives. They are everywhere. hair, back, legs, arm, neck. They come and go of course. some days i don’t feel them at all and some days they drive me crazy. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Even herbal remedies. Thanks!
I keep getting these bumps on my legs. they look like 2-3 mosquito that have swollen up and its red all the way around them. They Itch and burn something terrible but only last an hour or so before disappearing. I think it may be an allergic reaction but from what i’ve read that usually causes hives. Does anyone have any other ideas as to what it may be?
I shaved and forgot that my legs were really dry. I now have dark dark red skin and large white hives all over my legs. Aloe vera hasn’t helped; Any home remedies? Please help quickly it hurts pretty bad. I can’t get to a doctor, or a store at the moment.
i am allergic to grass, but i haven’t broke out in hives since the fourth grade, until yesterday. it’s the first time i lay in the grass at the same park. i am really itchy and these spots came out on my arms. i was wearing jeans so i guess that’s why my legs aren’t itchy. it’s burning really, really bad and i only have zyrtec. do you have any home remedies? like ice or something? thanks for your help
I was painting last week and by the second day my legs were completely covered in hives. It’s been almost a week, is there anything that would help the itching and get rid of the rash?
I am 22 weeks along and for the last three days have broke out in horribly itchy hives on my legs, thighs and a bit on my stomach. The doctor told me to take Benedryl which I will get when the pharmacy opens tomorrow. For now I have to suffer with it. What causes it and is there anything I can do to ease them until tomorrow when I can get the benedryl?
Also could stress cause them? I have been pretty stressed out and anxious lately or is it something I ate?
I am 5 week Pregnant, and for the last week my legs (expecially my calves and ankles) get hives, and i cant stop scratching them. It get’s so bad, they start to bleed.

We all know someone who is “allergic” to a medication. Many times that person is not having a true allergic reaction but either a side effect to the drug or just an adverse reaction. This is also the case with aspirin or the related non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAlDS) such as ibuprofen or naproxyn. There is [...]
