Hi,
As per your query you are suffering from skin rashes throughout the body which is due to the body's reaction to the external stimuli as an allergic reaction. It is very important to find out what exactly causing hives or what factor is responsible for their occurrence because treatment depends upon the causative factor. As such hives are harmless but when they start interfering in vital activities of life like breathing difficulty in your case then the condition becomes a kind of medical emergency. Apply ice packs to the body for itchiness and redness. So I would suggest you consult allergy specialist for proper diagnosis. The doctor may prescribe other steroid creams, anti-inflammatory drug or drugs that can suppress the immune system. The doctor may perform skin test and challenge to find out the trigger factor. The only treatment for hives is steroid therapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
