been having this for last 4 yrs. dermie can't tell what's causing it but he prescribed Telfast or Zirtec, etc. sometimes even taking these are ineffectiv but he said to just continue take the medication to "chase it n not let it chase u". Sometimes patches simply break out, no itch at all but at other times there r welts n itchy until I apply a cream like Physiogel which is v effectiv. I suspec I cud b allergic to certain foods but haven't been successful in finding out the cause so far. Anyone had this problem, can help pls ....?

Yeah, my Hubby has the same problem..Dermatologists have got no clue how to treat it, so they just keep prescribing those nasty creams...who wants to look all gross and greasy all the time? Funny, you never see them using that kind of stuff to treat themselves! Basically the only way to treat this is to take some kind of steroids, either through pills or shots. But you need to find a Doctor who is understanding to get them to prescribe you with it...Good luck & God bless!

Take allergy tests and they should be able to tell you, you will also be tested for foodstuffs and if they can't pin point which one is giving you the allergy, they'll make you stop taking some foodstuffs and slowly introduce them again to see which one is bothering you. You should really see a dermatologist and take the tests.
