Hello,
As per your case history, you are having urticaria, my treatment advice is -
1. Avoid fast food and food with artificial colors for two months.
2. Apply a soothing lotion like calamine lotion on affected region twice daily.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetirizine twice daily for 7-10 days.
4. Other treatment options are an oral steroid, hydroxyzine is taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harshit Bhachech
