Have Welts In Palm, Itchy Bumps. Allergic To Lotions. Getting Triamcinolone Zcetonide Shots. Sufficient?

I got chicken pox about 4 years ago. I believe I've developed alleges after that. I'm now allergic to lotions etc which I was using regularly before that. I get welts on my palm ( more like under the palm), itchy bumbs on the back of my head and sometimes get up with swollen eyes. Is there a way I can fix them once in for all.

PS: I pop in allegra/reactin every now an then I get allergies. I get Triamcinolone Zcetonide shots every few months. I've had to get these shots more frequently in the past 6 months. I've already taken 2 shots this year
Thanks

Hello.If you have welts and swollen eyes recurrently,you have chronic urticaria.
Triamcinolone is an effective drug to treat urticaria but the final solution is in knowing the cause of urticaria.There are differents factors that causes urticaria:drugs allergies,food allergies, sweating, physical exercise....
Your doctor must request you allergies test to try to find the cause of urticaria.
However say you that often it is not possible to know the cause of urticaria and only may treat urticaria crisis with corticosteroids and antihistamine as your refers.(Triamcinolone,Fexofenadine...)
Go to your doctor to exploration and request allergies test.
I wish you good health.

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Avoiding the allergen is the treatment to cure once for all the mentioned condition. If it is not possible other way is get done skin prick test to know allergen and take immunotherapy. Have plenty of fluids and regular outdoor exercises for your wellbeing. Hope I answered your question. Consult your doctor for further management.
Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.

Regards
