I have some sort of skin problem. It looks like ezchema but not scabby more of red blotchyness. my blood shows no allergys and i do not have scabies as that was the second thought my doctor had. I had seen a dermatologist who said it was acute urticaria(hives). I started this in November 06 last year and still have them. They itch really bad and anti histermines can only do so much. please help. And how long should it last as i thought 3 months was tops.

Both Singulair and Zyrtec work very well for urticaria. There is a slim chance you have developed thyroid problems, but a simple blood test can determine if your thyroid is indeed healthy. Both Singulair and Zyrtec are a once a day pill.
You should also eliminate all perfume and dye from your soaps, lotions, laundry detergent and fabric softener.
The following are the #1 recommended products by the American Academy of Dermatology;
*Dove Unscented Soap
*Eucerin Calming Cream (or lotion)
*ALL Free Clear
*Ultra Downy Free & Sensitive
By laundering your clothes, towels and bedding in the ALL detergent and Downy fabric softener, you greatly descrease the amount of irritants your skin encounters. It should make you more comfy.
When you get out of the shower in the morning you need to slather on Eucerin Calming Cream, and do it again before you go to bed. Apply the Eucerin every 12 hours or so.
You are a lucky dog to not have any allergies! Both my husband I sure do, and our poor kids have them pretty badly, too. Hope your itching subsides and you get relief soon. Take care.

If issues get out of hand bypass see a doctor. have you ever had an hypersensitivity try achieved? you would be taken aback bearing directly to the quantity of issues which you would be allergic to. something could have led to this. each now and then we predict of we've all the bases coated, yet until eventually you comprehend each thing you're allergic to you somewhat do no longer comprehend.

if the dermatologist called it urticaria, it is an allergic condition, ask your doctor about considering a medrol dose pack, systamic steroids for a few days, good luck
