Hi, You have severe itching since 9 years, Atarax onfourth, works for 7 days, medicines are violent than the itching.
It is called utricaria, due to allergy to some allergens, food like, sea foods, milk, and what ever you find the allergic. external like soap, dress material, cosmetics, etc.
You make a list of the things you are using, underline the things used new, make note when you get the itching more and try to find the allergen. Don't stop making list though you don't get the result. Now avoid them .
Thank you.
