You are mostly having allergic urticaria.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem. I have gone through all the reports.
You are having slightly high lipids.
In my opinion, you are having mostly allergic skin reaction.
In addition to levocetrizine, I think you should also start anti allergic drug.
It will give you more benefit.
Steroid containing cream on affected skin areas is also good for itchiness.
Have you ever tested for total serum IgE?
Serum IgE is marker of allergic disease.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
