Urticaria

Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.

For urticaria I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g cetirizine 10mg tablet once a day for a few days. In addition I suggest you to use a soothing lotion e.g calamine lotion to calm down the rashes.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance
