Hello.

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history and would like to make following suggestions for you:

1. Urticaria, especially lasting more than 6 weeks, may not be always due to allergy.

2. Were I treating you, I would suggest you an antihistamine like cetirizine/levocetirizine for 1-2 weeks.

3. I usually advise such patients tests like complete blood counts, ESR, CRP, urine & stool examination, and if necessary, allergy testing, thyroid testing and ANA. These investigations may give clues to cause of urticaria. Please discuss these tests with your treating physician.

4. Intestinal worm infestations can commonly cause urticaria. If worms is a common problem in your area, I would suggest you a short course of anti-parasitic drugs.

5. I would personally suggest you to avoid activities causing excessive sweating and hot/spicy foods. I would also suggest to avoid tight-fitting or woolen/synthetic type clothes if possible, loose-fitting, cotton clothes would be best in my opinion.

6. Please do not scratch at the itchy areas as scratching worsens the problem. I would suggest you to apply lotion such as calamine over itchy areas.

7. Dynolap can control the symptoms of urticaria, it does not "cure" the cause of the urticaria.

8. I am not an authorized person to comment about homeopathy. A homeopathy doctor would be the best person to ask whether he/she can help.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.

Should you have any other query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish you the best of the health.

Thank you & Regards.
