Daily hives

2018-01-07 12:14:05
I've been having hives daily for three weeks. I can't think of the cause. The hives appear randomly on my body, but typically occur on my legs and arms. As of late, they have spread to my trunk, neck, and lips. They started out of the blue overnight -three weeks ago. I have been taking 10-20 mg of loratadine which helps, but they reappear again in less than 24hrs after taking it.

Do get a complete hemogram done. The hives are a result of the urticaria/allergy. You need to take loratidine or cetirizine daily for next 2 weeks. In case you need further clarification or want to speak to me, you can go to my online profile and book an online consult
