Brief Answer:
Chronic urticaria

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Probably you are suffering from chronic urticaria.
It is an allergic condition and is chronic in nature.
I would like to know whether you have undergone any blood test for this.
If yes let me know the reports.
It's important to find out the exact cause and eliminate it else the anti allergic medication cannot be stopped.
Let me know If you have any other doubts.
Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Get blood allergy test done

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the follow up.
Only serum IgE is elevated which suggests that you have allergy.
There is also slight deficiency of vitamin D.
There is no permanent cure of urticaria.
I suggest you get a blood allergy test done.
In this test concentration of all allergens in blood is checked to see which antigen is causing allergy in you.
Also take tablet albendazole single dose.
This will take care of intestinal worms if any.
Let me know the reports.
Waiting for your response.
Thanks
