Skin&H2O Urtikaria
As I had described in my profile, I have hives all over my body and severe itching over legs area for 5 to 10 mins after bathing. Even during sweating I suffer redness in my palms and where ever sweat is it itches with redness and mild hives. Right now, I am taking antihistamines. Every night I am taking Montec LC before going to bed. If I miss that, my suffering begin for that following day. Is there any cure for my condition? Or should I be taking this medicine life long. I had developed this condition when I was studying in Europe studying and I am 24 years old then. Thank you.

You are suffering from what Dermatologist call chronic urticaria. Common causes are food allergy infection or drugs. Although, in most cases cause remains unknown in spite of a thorough search. It can be symptomatically treated with antihistamines so that you do not get any new hives and the treatment should be prolonged until it resolves which usually takes 3 to 6 months. In very few cases like yours, it persists for years. You probably have physical form of urticaria triggered change in temperature. The tablet you are taking is harmless and you can continue that. There are better tablets which have longer half life. We can try that.
