Thalassemia Minor. Have Urticaria On My Buttocks And Thighs, Redness, Bumps. Done Biopsy. What Is The Reason?
Help! I have urticaria on my buttocks and thighs - humidity and tight pants might be a factor. I first noticed the red irregular bumps on my buttocks about 4 years ago in the summer after returning from the beach/ pool. I continued to get it every summer since after sunbathing; it lasts for 2 to 3 weeks and then it goes away. This year however, I got it in February (I was pregnant at the time) and it's been coming back on and off in small bumps since then. I finally saw a dermatologist who did a biopsy; the diagnosis- papular urticaria. In hope for an answer, I saw an allergist as well - turns out i'm allergic to dust mites and cockroach (not known to cause hives). Yesterday I went to a hot yoga class; the room was warmer than usual and i sweated profusely. I got home and my right thigh was covered in red bumps of different sizes, some even expended into a massive red area overnight - they are somewhat itchy and my skin feels as sensitive as when I get sunburn. My left thigh is not as affected - just a few red bumps. I take Allegra on a regular basis and I used anti - itch lotion for the first time today (Itch Fix, i believe). I do not have any other medical condition aside from Thalassemia minor. The rash seems to have gotten worse since it first started 4 years ago, it really worries me. What else should i look into? What steps should i take?

Hello friend,
I am a Homoeopath and so my answer will be different from what you have already heard about allergy.
Yes you are allergic to several things like heat of summer, dust, mites, cockroach etc.
This hypersensitivity is inborn or genetic. But the time of developing hypersensitivity is related usually to a psychological conflict you had at the time of onset of the problem. If you started getting it 4 years back, exactly before that you must have had some shocking conflict which remain unresolved. But your brain associated the urticarea to the external environments like heat of sun, dust etc. instead of associating with the conflict. Now your brain has made a programme associated with these factors and whenever you get exposed to such environments you get the symptoms of urticarea .
First of all if you can recollect the conflict, then you can resolve it at the mental level. How you reacted to that is important because that is your genetic, constitutional individuality that made you to react in that manner.
This will help the Homoeopathic physician to select the constitutional remedy for you.
Therefore my advice to you is to approach an expert Homoeopath at the earliest. You should stop taking any anti- drugs because the purpose of the Homoeopathic treatment is not to suppress the skin reaction but is to cure you. Once you are cured, then your urticarea will go away.
With best wishes,
