Hives because of allergy
I've been getting hives on my skin for the past month, I have two cats at home. After visiting a doctor, I've been told that with allegra it should stop the hives. However the hives have continued to return with a shorter frequency each time. I started my medication this past weekend (3rd June), should I get an allergen test to see what it is? How will I get rid of the hives?
They are on my arms, my back and my thighs and are itchy. I have no other symptoms.
