Hi, You are suffering from recurring hives which seems to be due to external stimuli as a allergic reaction. Many reasons for hives such environmental factors, cosmetic product or side effects of any medicine. As such hives are harmless but when they start interfering in vital activities of life like breathing difficulty they become a kind of medical emergency. I would suggest you to consult allergy specialist for proper diagnosis Doctor may prescribe other steroid cream, anti inflammatory drug or drugs that can suppress immune system. The only treatment for hives is steroid therapy. Apply cold compresses to body for itchiness and redness. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
