Skin Urticaria Since 9 years
Hello Madam/Sir
Greetings...
While scratching my skin it got swelling, redness and was spreading with every scratch.
I have been diagonosed with skin urticaria 9 years back and advised to take LecopeM 5mg daily, I have been taking it since then daily for years.
4 months back I observed that it does not come in 48hrs but if i dont take med in 48hrs I feel heavyness in my palm and little itching sensation in any few fingers. I am continuing with 1 tablet in 2days now, which helps.
Please tell me how long should I continue with this medicine or should I change the medicine...? Please help.

Trust me for Urticaria you are your doctor.....every episode has a trigger you will have to narrow down to a cause for it....I definitely I agree it's not easy because anything under sun can cause urticaria but in these 9 yrs it's not difficult to narrow down to atleast few....once u can do it we can go for a provocation test to confirm it.. then avoid that stimulus....
Next Steps
treatment wise on online domain it's just antihistamines tat can be given...for a well established Autoimmune urticaria u will have to go for a physical consultation for further evaluation
