Answer 1

It is likely due to some allergen that you come in contact with frequently. I can not enter a pet shop where they are super generous with cedar shavings...it causes my eyes to water, then sneezing. It could be as simple as the disinfectants, sprays or other things that are used around the animals...try applying a heavy cream to your skin...cocoa butter is ok....vaseline might be better, and washing these off after work...might be a little sticky...but it protects the skin....and maybe saves your job.

Answer 2

Papular urticaria is a common and often annoying disorder manifested by chronic or recurrent papules caused by a hypersensitivity reaction to the bites of mosquitoes, fleas, bedbugs, and other insects. Individual papules may surround a wheal and display a central punctum (Stibich, 2001). Papular urticaria tends to be evident during spring and summer months.

Most cases of papular urticaria are onto children. Treatment would be avoidance of new bites, with antihistamines orally and cortisone cream topically for flareups.

Papular urticaria is descriptive of your condition. Unfortunately, treatment and management can be disappointing. Keep in mind though that diseases can be viewed as alterations of the balance between the body defenses, environment or hygiene, and other organisms. Sanitation, cleanliness and good food can improve the body and its place under the sun. Antibiotics, antifungal, antiseptics and antiviral can kill or incapacitate microorganisms that may cause your problem. Some medications can reduce your symptoms. Nevertheless, this is an inexpensive advise: keep clean, bathe twice a day, and do not scratch the itch for two weeks. See the improvement, and if you like the change, just continue the process as a habit.

Answer 6

Papular Urticaria, more commonly known as "hives," is characterized by local elevated ridges (wheals) and redness (erythema) of the skin. This condition is usually triggered by allergic reactions to insect bites, sensitivity to drugs, or other environmental causes. The first symptom of Papular Urticaria is usually itching (pruritus), followed by the appearance of small or large wheals. In some cases, swelling of the soft tissues of the face, neck, and hands (angioedema) may also occur. Papular Urticaria may be caused by drug allergies, insect stings or bites, desensitization injections (allergy shots), or ingestion of certain foods (particularly eggs, shellfish, nuts, or fruits) by individuals who are allergic to these substances.

Try antihistamines or calamine lotion
