Suggest Remedy For Excessive Hives All Over The Body

I have been suffering with hives. Years ago All brand laundry soap used to cause hives so I only use hypoallergenic soap now and I ve tried no soap. It seems maybe raisins and all things related like vinegar, wine etc. light me up. So I stopped eating them and consuming all related products. But nothing seems to make a difference and I m going nuts. Any ideas? Tom

Hi.
As per your case history you are having urticaria.
My treatment advice is -
1. Avoid fast food and food with artificial colors.
2. Apply a soothing lotion like calamine lotion on affected region twice daily.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days.
4. Other treatment options are oral steroid like prednisone or betamethasone taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
