Hives- unknown cause

2018-02-26 14:50:56
I have had red, itchy raised bumps (they look like hives that I typically get on my face) all over my body for the past week. Today (2/26) I woke up with hives all over my face. Typically the hives on my face come from particular makeup that I learn to avoid, however, these just came on overnight. If there a way to subdue the itchiness and a semi-quick way to get rid of the hives?

Take tab levocetrizine10 mg twice a day for the time being to temporarily improve the itching. However this is not the definitive treatment you will have to visit a qualified dermatologist to get the condition properly assessed. Hope this was helpful.
