Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi. Hives are manifestation of allergic reaction and finding the allergen (agent) in individual cases is very difficult. In many cases, we cant find any allergen. In such cases, one should screen for what we call autoimmune urticaria. Here, the treatment is bit different. Meanwhile, the goal would be controlling hives while you are on medication. Use a montelukast and levocetrizine combination. Add a H2 blocker like ranitidine. Hoep it helps
