Suggest Treatment For Dermatographism
Hi I am 26 yo female, 155 lbs and 5 3 . I have dermatographism and have to take allegra twice daily to keep from itching all over. I know antihistamines can dry up your milk supply and I am actively trying to conceive. Are there any other treatment options?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Antihistamines are the main aspect of treatment of any allergic response but light therapy is also used with some effectiveness.
There are a lot of pregnant or breast feeding mothers that need to use antihistamines.
They would not affect your ability to conceive and should not have any significant effect on breastfeeding.
I hope this helps
