I had hives all over my body except the face. It was horrible. I was miserable. The doctor diagnosed it as a reaction to strep throat. Weirdest thing ever!!!
Same w my 4 yo grandson. But two weeks later he has broken out in severe hives, yesterdays dr appt said this is a food allergy. Coincidence or bad luck for my grandson
Ive had hives my freshmen year in college and it was terrible. It lasted for weeks and was un diagnosable. Not only that but I had an allergic reaction to the steroids given to me. But it was that experience that made me realize that stress and anxiety played a huge part in my health. The less I stopped worrying about it and stop stressing as much, they slowly started to go away. I no longer have them as bad as I used to but does anyone else feel like since you had them once, your kind of prone to it now? I hardly get them but it sucks cause as soon as I see one pop up I get anxious.
extreme stress or trauma, a death of loved one (if you try to postpone your feelings about it, the nerves can be heightened and body creating too much histamine (best to stay away from any kind of caffeine, cheese, alcohol) until you allow time for self to get through what you need to overcome. Benadryl is good for hives, or in the past that I knew of, but I question other things added to it. You do not want your cortisol hormone levels to harm you. Research healthier foods to eat, pray, get close to God. Be careful that you don't accidentally hypnotize yourself.
I had hives once as a child, twice as an adult. I’m 60 now. The ER doctor and hospital stated no known cause. I’m not allergic to anything, and have eaten the same foods, no problems since. Never changed personal items. They gave me Prednisone, where they wean you off gradually. It really cleared them up.
You can be allergic to things and not be aware. If they don’t check it, you’ll never know. You can also be allergic and rarely or even never show a response. Also, what people commonly view as an allergy is not the only thing that causes symptoms like these.
@@LinDa-vx3ly yeah, I know! Ain’t had hives since 1993-1994. That was probably the third time I ever had them. First time I was a year old, my Grandma made homemade ice cream. Mom said I was probably allergic to eggs. I didn’t even know ice cream could be made using eggs? They withheld eggs for me after that. I eat them fine now. I’m 62.
Right now I'm about to be 18 and having these symptoms like around a month and these hives jeeps appearing on my body everyday, I'm sick of this so is there any way how can these be permanently treated?
I've had hives like this. It is definitely NOT recommended. I'm allergic to the weird stuff. Turmeric, cream of tartar and dates. All of which eventually lead to anaphylactic reactions. I'm also allergic to latex and have rosacea. The only thing that I've found that works for me is an oatmeal bath once a week. That soothes the skin and keeps my skin reactions at bay.
@@yashm05 yes I do use oatmeal often thank you ! Well the situation remains the same overall I do understand the Medical Profession as one consultant said ‘we can’t take it out once we’ve put it in ‘ leaves me with pain from a few ageing problems fluid on my knee ( no steroids) Arthritis few other bits and bats 🙈😂 but just keep going keep going ! Thank you for thinking of me 💗
I had hives 2 years every day . I was so frustrated . Everything i ate gave me hives . I started eating low histamine food , Vitamin C , vitamin B6 and Quercentin . It went away in few months
And I thought that I was the only one get allergic reaction for several years. I itch all over my body and went to several doctors with no result and finally I just let it go and after several years it just disappeared and I didn't even know when it was. Several days ago I got different allergic reaction. I have so many redness on my legs, hands and body except my face. 😩
I've been having hives during workout and after shower and in hot summers for 4 years already, done IGE nothing showed up, allergy test clean, parasitic test clean, i don't know what to do honestly, lost hope in our medicinal system.. Maybe one day they'll figure out when I struggle death.
Never did get a diagnosis for the hives I had as a kid! This was back in the 1960s. Several years later as a nurse, I was working on a doctor's office when I had a bad case again. I ended up seeing an allergist who tested me for everything known at that time to test for. I was allergic to most of the things I was tested for! Including 97 of the 120 foods!!! Complicated my life for awhile, but I am better now as long as I restrict my diet!
I’ve had hives several times. The worst time I was around 14/15 and it was worse than this. My family was heading to the Rose Festival at the waterfront and I’d just gotten home from practice so I took a shower and went straight to the dryer to pull out clothes to put on and got dressed. My parents bought a different laundry detergent than we normally used and this was the very first load of clothes out of this particular bottle. Something in it, whether it was supposed to be there or not, caused me to breakout EVERYWHERE. It took less than 15 minutes for me to look like I’d walked right into a poison ivy bush and just rolled around in it lol. To the point where I had hives on my face so bad they caused one of my eyelids to almost swell closed. But because I wanted to go to the festival, I took another shower, threw on a new set of clothes not from the contaminated load, took some allergy meds and was off to the waterfront with my family lol. I’ll never forget the stares walking around Portland but I wasn’t about to let some itching ruin my fun! 🤷🏾♀️😂
Yep, I am allergic to most soaps and detergents. Recently changed detergent and for some reason didn't connect the dots. After exercise, my armpits were itching and elbows were itching and I thought it was something I ate, but I finally realized my sweat must have been releasing the detergent chemicals from my shirt and causing the reaction on my skin. It takes about two weeks for my skin to heal completely after removing the trigger. Unless I am on my death bed, I refuse to take Prednisone.
That’s crazy! Someone said they got shingles from a new deodorant it’s so weird what we all get allergic to someone I heard was allergic to water what a nightmare
@@MacChicken-up2rlthis is what happens when people throw the phrase conspiracy around. people have been saying for years that the sht in our soaps, toothpastes, water, and food are unnatural
Me too change from tide to ultra clean find it in Cosco at houston and i broke in hives too much to the point I went to hospital but lukely I healed smothley after that
I am allergic to laundry detergents and fabric softeners. They give me wicked hives and the itch is absolute torcher. I now use a small amount of Tide Free to get my clothes clean and then I put my clothes through another "full" wash cycle, with no detergent to get most of the residual chemicals out and of course no fabric softeners or dryer sheets. This helped my skin by about 80%. Also, no one sharing the dryer should use fabric softener sheets as it will contaminate the dryer. Latex allergy are common so if your waistband area gets hives this may be a cause. Double wash all, bedding in hot water once a week for sure. This will help with dust mite allergies which can cause allergies when mites, feces, and the dead bodies of mites are inhaled. Many over the counter moisturizing creams only made me worse. Double washing really helped me, give it a try, but make sure to wash all clothes that way every time, it takes me more time and money do to laundry but its critical for me. I hope this advice can help someone else. Also, one last thing, soft drinks including diet drinks give me bad hives, so I cut them out completely.
Low Vitamin D levels have been linked to hives. Sometimes my skin looks like Ben Grimm of The Fantastic Four without any reason. Phenergan helps but it puts you to sleep. Cool weather helps my case. All of my hives started right after I had an allergy test years ago. A while ago a minister prayed over me and the hives were gone for three weeks. Thank You Jesus.
“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:4, 6-8, 11, 13 ESV
About 10 years ago I went to the doctor for a weird rash. (Actually 3 doctors). First one said I had a staff infection, (so lots of antibiotics) second one said i had bed bugs (Nope) 3rd one said I had something else. It wasn't until I decided to ditch "diet splash" that I had been on a kick for a couple of months that it went away. Only years later I read a blog about a rash and those diet drinks! Tons of meds for nothing! Wish doctors were more aware of this! Reply
i had this type patches all over body in india where we visited most reputed n experienced doctors they didn't even say about my condition without knowing disease they gave me prescription had lots n lots off medicine n finally my self stopped visiting doctors n did complete ayurvedic diet now i am aware of diseases all thanks to doctors helping through youtube. thank u doc
I was so scared my infant would get hives. Day three of amoxicillin and no rash! Even though I'm allergic to penicillin. Thank you for what you do. My baby has not been as grumpy today and no fever. Ear infections are the worst. And you are there to help infants and other children when they do get those or other infections. And seriously, if we were anywhere near OR you would be my son's pediatrician. God bless you!
My daughter was getting covered in hives, so we started paying attention to what she ate, cause we hadn't changed any soaps or anything else and we found out she was allergic to McDonald's barbecue sauce. She quit eating it and hasn't had hives since
I’ve suffered with idiopathic hives for over 20 years. I’ve done 2 regimens of immunotherapy for my known allergies, but never have any of the allergists been able to pinpoint what triggers my hives. I did get a great cocktail recommendation from a Family Practitioner friend that’s very effective in reducing the intensity and duration. That cocktail still knocks them down to this day, usually within 20 minutes of uptake. 5mg Cetirizine (Zyrtec) + 400 mg Cimetidine (Tagamet). Took a long time for me to find relief but it works well and makes them disappear quickly.
As a kid I had “ giant hives”. It was in the 50’s. I was in the hospital for a week. They diagnosed it as my body’s reacting to me getting over measles. I couldn’t have my Easter basket.
My daughter reacted to much chocolate one time with hives that looked big blisters. The doctor said from then on she had to restrict the amount of chocolate she ate.
My daughter had the same thing. It turned out to be an allergy to amoxicillin. We spent hours in the ER getting her cortisone injections until it resolved. Now we know she is allergic.
I have had same happen to me twice. Doctor told me next time I take amoxicillin I'd better head right to ER because my throat will start to close. I had hives and welts all over from scalp to private parts to btw my toes. I will never take that antibiotic again.
As a sufferer of chronic hives, zertek caused more hives for me. The best, and what was created first to treat hives, is Claritin. You will find it works the best to relieve the itch and swelling. As new drugs come out, doctors pushed those because they were under patent. Claritin/loratadine is now off patent. So you can get it cheaper and over the counter. It works wonders. Sorry for the discomfort.
I had hives for for half of jr high and half of sr high. Finally found out I was allergic to iodine. Can not eat salt that has iodine in it. It took a lot of time and energy to figure it had to do with salt. But we finally had it down to food that I salted and the doctor determined it was the iodine. I can not have it internally or externally. Either way sever hives to over 95% of my body.
@@brendalankutis6772 me too. It actually is what is used to put iodine into food. An additive they use to process it. Naturally occurring iodine like in seafood should not cause you issues. Its just the processed iodine. Try some seafood. See what happens.
@@davidcthomasmusic once I removed what was causing the stress from my life they did. Mine were caused by an ex, so I broke up with him and they went away within a week
I get hives from head to toe when I come in contact with latex, or foods that have a cross reactivity to latex. The hives mainly affected my hands and feet. They were so bad on my hands, my fingers were super swollen and I couldn’t even close my fingers. I also got a lot of swelling on my face, including my lips. My ear canals were super itchy, and the roof of my mouth was pretty itchy too. Hives are horrible!
I live in Belfast. I have had urticaria for 20 years. I suffer from severe pain and itching all over my body. I have been receiving treatment for years, blood tests, treatment, a needle in the abdomen, all kinds of histamine pills, creams, and an anesthetic cream for the body, but to no avail. Is it possible to help? What is the solution and get rid of this disease? My allergies come. Of all the days I only want to rest one day
Get yourself a cold water tub. Ice that sucker down and just take the discomfort for a few minutes, warm up with an electric blanket and get some rest afterwards. It's the only thing that seems to help other than Zeus-levels of benadryl.
I wish you all the best and sympathize with your plight. I get them to but luckily only once in a while. Only lately has it become more of a problem. No clue what’s causing it. Diet? Stress? Allergic reaction? 🤷🏻♂️ I think I’ll try first intermittent fasting and keto; maybe primarily eating meat. Hopefully that does the trick. Then slowly introduce a select amount of foods. - All the while keeping notes on what I’m eating, how I’m feeling and what my sleep patterns look like, and seeing what the correlation to my hive outbreak is. This shit suuuucks! Hopefully we both find relief. Best of luck to you!
Do you drink beverages from aluminum cans.. soda, sparkling water, or beer? If so, stop for 2 to 3 weeks. The acids in cans corrode the inner aluminum lining. People who react long-term to metal toxins (like myself)... display severe itching, dry chapped skin, etc. Give it a go!
This happened to me when I was working. I worked with At-Risk students visiting a major university 3 hours from home one way. I noticed it during a talk and had to run to the ladies. A female student followed me . Good thing too. The hives were all over my body! From my neck to my ankles! I was dressed for winter., so I had a turtleneck, a sweatshirt and jeans! I had to stay that way until the late afternoon. It was a nightmare!
I get hives and seeing this guy it is making me itch 😭 I have noticed I get hives if I am too hot and if I get really stressed. Goodluck my friend, sometimes hives can last daayyysss 😫
I hate having allergies i get puffy eyes itchy hives wheezing only ever been in hospital 2 times. All different things I am allergic to in different degrees.
I recently discovered I'm allergic to canned beverages (namely aluminum!) For the longest time, I thought food allergens were the cause. I do have some food allergies, but regarding cans... the acidity of the beverage will corrode the inner lining of the can. Long-term exposure to the metal toxin (or even acute toxicity) will cause severe itching or dry/chapped skin especially on extremities & joints. If you've been drinking soda, sparkling H2O, beer from aluminum cans, I urge you to stop for up to 3 weeks. See if the itching & dryness goes away. Also if there's anyone you know, young or old, with eczema that they haven't found a way to control... but they have a habit of drinking sodas or beer from cans, try to get them off that for a duration. It's literally changed my life, & over the course of two weeks, I've seen my body completely change. There haven't been enough studies done on this, but I'm convinced that aluminum allergy doesn't simply involve instances of contact dermatitis. We ingest aluminum on a DAILY BASIS. Canned drinks are heavily consumed & over storage time the aluminum content increases. Give it a try.
Thank you for not promoting and prescribing Prednisone or Antibiotics without finding the cause of the reaction. Too many doctors would have prescribed Prednisone and let him on his way.
Why in the sam-heck didn’t they do an IGE test while the kid was there so he would know what to avoid!!?!?! This is exactly why our medical system is overwhelmed and just crap.
It’s high histamine, I went on a low histamine diet, and autophogy diet and it got rid of everything… I can go back to a normal dies but I will never stop prolong fasting, in all gut health !
I started with similar a week after Amoxicillin turned out worst days of my life SJS ! Hope you getting better ! I have life changing situation even down to Covid Vacc! As the medical profession in general shy away ! Even down to an echo heart scan they would not give the dye ! Even though it was just strawberry and egg I never was allergic to those !! No anaesthesia unless tested against 250 different combinations ! Even though prior to episode had 4 general anaesthesia ! Just got an appointment for immunology ! (Very rare breed I’ve been told) so grateful !!! Thankyou so much you’re a lovely guy and such a nice Doctor ! 💫🇬🇧
Hopefully he figured out what caused this so he doesn't have to go through it again! Hives are NO fun! I have a latex allergy and had to go to the ER for anaphylactic shock even after a load of Benadryl. Hopefully that did not happen to him later.
Oh no, I bet that was scary for you! Benadryl makes me have awful panic attacks. My heart thumps like it's going to come out of my chest. I fear one day having to take it again for an allergic reaction...😬😩😳
He said that exercise makes it worse but curiously the only time I don't get them is when I exercise. I play ice hockey and ice skate frequently and they seem to disappear. I have had urticaria for 3 years and this year has been the worst. Even the higher dose anti-histamines give little relief. They appear around March and disappear in September every year.
I have had hives for almost 2 years. Went to a dermatologist then an allergy doctor and could not find the root cause. Never been allergic to any food so I live with Zyrtec every other day. I hope this goes away soon.
What is it when 90% of my body is covered for almost a year? Chronic ? This is hell on earth .intense itching and thick swollen hives from head to toe .
I am allergic to bee stings. I found this out as a young man. I worked in the forest. I got full of hives in a matter of minutes. I had two episodes of being stung.
Amoxcillian, the reaction was all over and itchy all over for about 3 months, the skin started to flake like psoriasis. Told by British Dr to put moisture cream on, this made the skin wet and weak which when scratch made wounds even worse. 4 years on on still have two patches on my back that thickened skin from scratching, thank God it ended
I’m currently having a reaction of hives to something, I can’t think of ANYTHING that’s new to me that I’m reacting to. My question is, does the fact that the hives are spreading indicate that I’m still in contact with whatever is causing the reaction? Or does the rash spread and run its course regardless?
My hives started with a very hot enjoyable shower one day in February then exacerbated with soda and sauerkraut everyday (my favorite). Then the scratching began when I didn't know what was happening and that really inflamed it. I stopped all those things and also started drinking celery juice and it's lessened and now starting to go away.
Wow....those hives looked pretty bad. I wonder if it was something he ate? Could it have been shingles? Wish we had a follow up. Did they eventually go away?
I don't really know completely the extent of my allergies, but i get hives from pretty much every piece of clothing i wear, every bed I sleep on, couches, carpet, ect. It goes away a while after showering, but if I don't shower, it will stay for a very long time. I've been getting hives every day for about 3 months now, and its really annoying 😭 Like I just wanna be all cozy in my bed and clothes
I am a very typical person with almost no allergies except a minor allergy to certain bug bites and seasonal pollen, but I randomly had a full body hives reaction that had me in urgent care on the drip while they waited for test results that came back inconclusive, somewhere out there I have a super allergen and I just live in fear I'll encounter whatever rare allergen I've only met once
I have had hives for nearly 20 years! I finally found out that this was due to mushrooms, I went from doctor to doctor for years and also in different countries. Anyone who is going through this please try to eliminate mushrooms!
My daughter has been getting this for several years. She gets them when hot or on the side of her body she is lying on while sleeping. Her back would be covered when I took her out of car seat. I always know when she has a fever before taking her temperature because she gets hives. Ice or cold water calms it. No one can explain it.
I grew up knowing that I have cold induced hives and they would normally disappear in minutes. But recently I had the reaction while at the gym and I expected them to disappear. But after an hour I had them all over my body including my head. Had to rush to the doctor because the itching was unbearable and I was starting to feel dizzy. Doctor told me that I need to cover up when working out, but Im worried that this will happen again. What can I do to ensure that this does not happen again? I need to get back to the gym😢
I’m suffering from hives flaring in and out and appearing in different areas. Once it appeared on my face and lips! I was a fish. I have epi-pens handy, but cause is still unknown…. :(
I got hives recently, its actually quite raised pinks spots that itch and get worse with water exposure. I took paxlovid for a stint. Is that what caused it or do I have monkey pocks or measles?
The worst part of it is not knowing what caused the hives rash or why. My 17 yr old son had itchy hives all over his body (arms, legs, back, chest, stomach, one side near ear) just like hers today for the very first time and no other symptoms whatsoever. For a while some of the spots would go away and then pop up in other areas and/or pop up again in similar areas. We gave him one benadryl that didn't do anything but then much later we gave him a Zyrtec and the hives calmed way down and many of them disappeared. He wants to wait and see how he is tomorrow and then we will see. I thought about it all day trying to figure out what caused it and why and everything he ate lately he has had before with no problems and we have been home for most of the summer. It really bothers me as a parent that it's so difficult to find the answer to very first time hives. My question is if it's something he ate before with no problems can he become allergic to it later on?
yo I always get this when im handling antifreeze. I notice every time I spill some on my hands, I get these itchy spots on my arms and legs. I never really had any allergies when I was a kid growing up but does this mean im allergic to antifreeze?
Something that has helped me a lot is dry brushing. Find a boar-hair brush and use it on the hives gently. It helps clear them up almost immediately and also feels quite nice. You can also do a full-body dry brushing, which I think flushes out histamines. My case turned out to be an allergy to citric acid, so any fruits or Vitamin C supplements or preservatives. It took me 5 years to figure it out on my own since doctors were completely useless and just wanted to prescribe heavy steroids.
I used to break out in welts if I ate corn; fresh corn, popped corn, corn chips. After a no-corn season, I could eat a little corn sometines without sprouting big red welts. I now think I was reacting to the aflatocin in the corn, not necessarily the corn. I still avoid corn tho...
I've never itched so much in my life as I did when I had hives....from Prozac, and I am a major mosquito magnet. There's no comparison -- the hive itch is absolutely unbearable.
Wow I am currently full of hives on upper legs, front and back,arms and upper back. I must have just eaten something that brought this monument flair up. Mine could be from LUPUS, ???, not sure. I will pick up antihistamines. I am surely thankful to you.The young man has exactly what I am now experiencing. 🙏🦋😇🥰
I get hives if I am really nervous about something. Once I got hives because I had to sing in front of the whole school for choir. I had to take Benadryl to get rid of it. I dropped choir that year because of the hives.
Ive had this a few times, intense itchiness that spreads and gets worse the more i indulge and panic. Once when before i realised what it was, when i was 18, and put it down to some wine or fancy gravy, (that had wine and jam in it), it also started to happen when i ate bananas, it would seem i developed an allergy to the only fruit i regularly ate, it also happened a couple times when i got a hot/itchy head (cycled with a wooly hat on and with long hair) and got a bit to into scratching my scalp and caused an all over body histamine, hives reaction. alleviate
I had hives , head to toe. They start like his but continue to grow til they connect to form even larger ones and they become hard. Lasts 2-3 days. The itch was intense and constant and deep inside the skin as well as on the surface. I would just brush over them gently with my fingers instead of scratching for minor relief. It has nothing to do with what this Dr suggested so hard to prevent other than meds and start on an elimination diet I guess
If we just let it go, will it disappears by itself? I was diagnosed with catatact and my right eye feel uncomfortable, sometimes my left eye too but seldom. Days ago I had redness on my skin and I visited a doctor and I told him i don't wanna have corticosteroid since I have cataract, he didnt give me corticosteroid in oral but in ointment. I asked him won't it get into blood stream and worsen my catatact, he said no. Besides, he also gave me antihistamine. But the night after i applied and had the medicine, I woke up with intense pain on my left eye. I stopped the medicine immediately. I still have some redness and they seems like increase. Will it be ok if i skip the medicine?
Hey dr. Paul I need your help I got tested positive for strep throat yesterday and I'm on antibiotics bit I have this terrible cough when I breathe in through my mouth which has been going on with it is this also strep?
The question is how to know if is from food or clothes? i had a new sweat and i clean in and put outside. pollen make my nose bad but never a skin like that. Food i never had something like that but i drink milk and sometimes make yogourt by my own. today i take a new pull and i had similar things happen in the first only on the upper body, very little on the right leg and i was wearing this new sweat and im thinking if that happen because this sweat or others things but nothing was different in my routine day only yogourt that i make and i already eating before but i put a new inuline inside that i try few day ago without any probleme or this new sweat, im lost how to know the difference between allergy from food, outside or clothes
I get hives by just 1 bug bite. I have had it for years! I had a biopsy done. I have wells syndrome. I take allegra. Spray with bug spray. Gets annoying.
i have hives and they're turning to purple.. I was given a anti allergy shot this afternoon. and still my rashes are itchy and it's turning to purple. I've been taking cetirizine.
Daily use of antihistamine like Zyrtec. Then Atarax every 4 hours and a steroid ointment when u have outbreaks. Benadryl doesn’t do it for me, so I keep a supply of Atarax in case of an outbreak. Atarax is an old antihistamine that will make u drowsy, but helps with the itchy skin and hives. Outbreaks feel Ike your skin is on fire, so I treat it immediately. I’ve been on oral steroids, but as soon as u go off, the hives return,so don’t bother with it.
This is what cannabis does when you’re allergic to it. After a decade of using cannabis medically I became allergic and broke out exactly like this and was itching. I tried 4 other products after that and same thing happened. I’m now 16 days off of weed and gave it up for life because of this. I was using mainly concentrates such as RSO.
I get these same type of hives sometimes. I've had them as spots all over (reaction on 6th day of sulfamethoxazole), & also had them more blotchy, as seen here. I never know the culprit. My Mom has gotten hives from using an auger before, & my parents ate too many strawberries once & got hives too. Weird how our bodies react sometimes, & not others! I would love to have allergy testing done, especially gluten.
My brother had hives just like these and found out he has an anaphylaxis allergy to water. Our minds were blown, he now gets monthly allergy shots that have caused the reactions to stop.
My grandaughter have hives now and its a week now she has fever also...i thought shes fine she got to school this monday but after her school hives again and fever...haissst its some.kind of frustrating...given her anti histamine and paracetamol
Scented things and chemicals can cause them. My husband got them from our neighbours hiring incense. It took a year for them to finally stop using it. Claratyne helped.
You can take a benadryl to get rid of them. Mine usually go away after a couple of hours. (This is coming from someone who's been getting hives since birth)
@@IAmTheSkinThief Okay but do you know what i could possibly have? its just one area, its a raised bunch of bumps on my leg its been there for about a year now and im starting to get really worried
Holy crap! I just had this same thing and ended up in the hospital multiple times in one month! I think it's cuz I started instant coffee. That's the only thing I changed. F what a battle that was. Better now but f that was crazy.
I absolutely LOVE Dr. Paul's personality shinning through on these videos! Always makes me have faith in humanity again!
I had hives all over my body except the face. It was horrible. I was miserable. The doctor diagnosed it as a reaction to strep throat. Weirdest thing ever!!!
The same thing happened to me!

extreme stress or trauma, a death of loved one (if you try to postpone your feelings about it, the nerves can be heightened and body creating too much histamine (best to stay away from any kind of caffeine, cheese, alcohol) until you allow time for self to get through what you need to overcome. Benadryl is good for hives, or in the past that I knew of, but I question other things added to it. You do not want your cortisol hormone levels to harm you. Research healthier foods to eat, pray, get close to God. Be careful that you don't accidentally hypnotize yourself.
I’ve had them on and off for years. If you are still suffering, read my comment above. Hope it helps.
How can it stop? My child has this 😢
I had hives once as a child, twice as an adult. I’m 60 now. The ER doctor and hospital stated no known cause. I’m not allergic to anything, and have eaten the same foods, no problems since. Never changed personal items. They gave me Prednisone, where they wean you off gradually. It really cleared them up.
When I Had Hives From An Autoimmune Disorder
You can be allergic to things and not be aware. If they don’t check it, you’ll never know. You can also be allergic and rarely or even never show a response. Also, what people commonly view as an allergy is not the only thing that causes symptoms like these.
@@LinDa-vx3ly yeah, I know! Ain’t had hives since 1993-1994. That was probably the third time I ever had them. First time I was a year old, my Grandma made homemade ice cream. Mom said I was probably allergic to eggs. I didn’t even know ice cream could be made using eggs? They withheld eggs for me after that. I eat them fine now. I’m 62.
Right now I'm about to be 18 and having these symptoms like around a month and these hives jeeps appearing on my body everyday, I'm sick of this so is there any way how can these be permanently treated?
What do they do to u if u do have hives?
I've had hives like this. It is definitely NOT recommended. I'm allergic to the weird stuff. Turmeric, cream of tartar and dates. All of which eventually lead to anaphylactic reactions. I'm also allergic to latex and have rosacea. The only thing that I've found that works for me is an oatmeal bath once a week. That soothes the skin and keeps my skin reactions at bay.
Definitely going to try oatmeal bath Thankyou
Sounds like Mast Cell activation syndrome to me
@@pearl2910 bro what about now was that oatmeal bath helpful??
@@yashm05 yes I do use oatmeal often thank you ! Well the situation remains the same overall I do understand the Medical Profession as one consultant said ‘we can’t take it out once we’ve put it in ‘ leaves me with pain from a few ageing problems fluid on my knee ( no steroids) Arthritis few other bits and bats 🙈😂 but just keep going keep going ! Thank you for thinking of me 💗

This one yes .I get hives every year round about July. This year I got it June July August. No answeres yet for me. So he helped me
@@karenolson2532 thats good then, hope they stop
I had hives 2 years every day . I was so frustrated . Everything i ate gave me hives . I started eating low histamine food , Vitamin C , vitamin B6 and Quercentin . It went away in few months
And I thought that I was the only one get allergic reaction for several years. I itch all over my body and went to several doctors with no result and finally I just let it go and after several years it just disappeared and I didn't even know when it was. Several days ago I got different allergic reaction. I have so many redness on my legs, hands and body except my face. 😩
My daughter have it over 8 years every day and it went away and now it's back after 7 years
Do you have leaky gut?
@@SEmme-ov6yyI've had hives and gastrointestinal issues.. There does seem to be a link.
I've been having hives during workout and after shower and in hot summers for 4 years already, done IGE nothing showed up, allergy test clean, parasitic test clean, i don't know what to do honestly, lost hope in our medicinal system.. Maybe one day they'll figure out when I struggle death.
Never did get a diagnosis for the hives I had as a kid! This was back in the 1960s. Several years later as a nurse, I was working on a doctor's office when I had a bad case again. I ended up seeing an allergist who tested me for everything known at that time to test for. I was allergic to most of the things I was tested for! Including 97 of the 120 foods!!! Complicated my life for awhile, but I am better now as long as I restrict my diet!
Parasites.

I’ve had hives several times. The worst time I was around 14/15 and it was worse than this. My family was heading to the Rose Festival at the waterfront and I’d just gotten home from practice so I took a shower and went straight to the dryer to pull out clothes to put on and got dressed. My parents bought a different laundry detergent than we normally used and this was the very first load of clothes out of this particular bottle. Something in it, whether it was supposed to be there or not, caused me to breakout EVERYWHERE. It took less than 15 minutes for me to look like I’d walked right into a poison ivy bush and just rolled around in it lol. To the point where I had hives on my face so bad they caused one of my eyelids to almost swell closed. But because I wanted to go to the festival, I took another shower, threw on a new set of clothes not from the contaminated load, took some allergy meds and was off to the waterfront with my family lol. I’ll never forget the stares walking around Portland but I wasn’t about to let some itching ruin my fun! 🤷🏾♀️😂
You're a trooper! I don't think I could have done it, lol.
Yep, I am allergic to most soaps and detergents. Recently changed detergent and for some reason didn't connect the dots. After exercise, my armpits were itching and elbows were itching and I thought it was something I ate, but I finally realized my sweat must have been releasing the detergent chemicals from my shirt and causing the reaction on my skin. It takes about two weeks for my skin to heal completely after removing the trigger. Unless I am on my death bed, I refuse to take Prednisone.
That’s crazy! Someone said they got shingles from a new deodorant it’s so weird what we all get allergic to someone I heard was allergic to water what a nightmare
@@MacChicken-up2rlthis is what happens when people throw the phrase conspiracy around. people have been saying for years that the sht in our soaps, toothpastes, water, and food are unnatural
Me too change from tide to ultra clean find it in Cosco at houston and i broke in hives too much to the point I went to hospital but lukely I healed smothley after that
I am allergic to laundry detergents and fabric softeners. They give me wicked hives and the itch is absolute torcher. I now use a small amount of Tide Free to get my clothes clean and then I put my clothes through another "full" wash cycle, with no detergent to get most of the residual chemicals out and of course no fabric softeners or dryer sheets. This helped my skin by about 80%. Also, no one sharing the dryer should use fabric softener sheets as it will contaminate the dryer. Latex allergy are common so if your waistband area gets hives this may be a cause. Double wash all, bedding in hot water once a week for sure. This will help with dust mite allergies which can cause allergies when mites, feces, and the dead bodies of mites are inhaled. Many over the counter moisturizing creams only made me worse. Double washing really helped me, give it a try, but make sure to wash all clothes that way every time, it takes me more time and money do to laundry but its critical for me. I hope this advice can help someone else. Also, one last thing, soft drinks including diet drinks give me bad hives, so I cut them out completely.
Low Vitamin D levels have been linked to hives. Sometimes my skin looks like Ben Grimm of The Fantastic Four without any reason. Phenergan helps but it puts you to sleep. Cool weather helps my case. All of my hives started right after I had an allergy test years ago. A while ago a minister prayed over me and the hives were gone for three weeks. Thank You Jesus.
Jesus is truly amazing.
“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I can do all things through him who strengthens me.”
Philippians 4:4, 6-8, 11, 13 ESV
About 10 years ago I went to the doctor for a weird rash. (Actually 3 doctors). First one said I had a staff infection, (so lots of antibiotics) second one said i had bed bugs (Nope) 3rd one said I had something else. It wasn't until I decided to ditch "diet splash" that I had been on a kick for a couple of months that it went away.
Only years later I read a blog about a rash and those diet drinks! Tons of meds for nothing! Wish doctors were more aware of this!

i had this type patches all over body
in india where we visited most reputed n experienced doctors
they didn't even say about my condition
without knowing disease they gave me prescription
had lots n lots off medicine
n finally my self stopped visiting doctors
n did complete ayurvedic diet
now i am aware of diseases
all thanks to doctors helping through youtube.
thank u doc
What ayurvedic diet you took?
I was so scared my infant would get hives. Day three of amoxicillin and no rash! Even though I'm allergic to penicillin. Thank you for what you do. My baby has not been as grumpy today and no fever. Ear infections are the worst. And you are there to help infants and other children when they do get those or other infections. And seriously, if we were anywhere near OR you would be my son's pediatrician. God bless you!
Good doctor, best explanation of this reaction I've heard so far
My daughter was getting covered in hives, so we started paying attention to what she ate, cause we hadn't changed any soaps or anything else and we found out she was allergic to McDonald's barbecue sauce. She quit eating it and hasn't had hives since
Wow! Good detective work...🔍
@@peytonweb We were very determined to figure out what was causing her hives.
If she's allergic to something she ate, wouldn't the allergic reaction also be internal and not just on the skin?
@@half.blight she had an epi pen
Not necessarily any other signs. @@half.blight
I’ve suffered with idiopathic hives for over 20 years. I’ve done 2 regimens of immunotherapy for my known allergies, but never have any of the allergists been able to pinpoint what triggers my hives. I did get a great cocktail recommendation from a Family Practitioner friend that’s very effective in reducing the intensity and duration. That cocktail still knocks them down to this day, usually within 20 minutes of uptake. 5mg Cetirizine (Zyrtec) + 400 mg Cimetidine (Tagamet). Took a long time for me to find relief but it works well and makes them disappear quickly.
I'm having idiopathic hives for 1year now and angiodema. I'm resistant even to cortisone, I don't know what to do
@@gibizevitchfast. Try a longg fast. Your gut also might be in dysbiosis, if fasting doesnt help try certain probiotics.
As a kid I had “ giant hives”. It was in the 50’s. I was in the hospital for a week. They diagnosed it as my body’s reacting to me getting over measles. I couldn’t have my Easter basket.
My daughter reacted to much chocolate one time with hives that looked big blisters. The doctor said from then on she had to restrict the amount of chocolate she ate.
Sorry you did get your Easter Basket.
I was 8 years old. My mom said to share my Easter basket with the nurses. 🙄
@@karens346 sad.
@@margaretdillinger5090 Thanks for understanding 😥
My daughter had the same thing. It turned out to be an allergy to amoxicillin. We spent hours in the ER getting her cortisone injections until it resolved. Now we know she is allergic.
I have had same happen to me twice. Doctor told me next time I take amoxicillin I'd better head right to ER because my throat will start to close. I had hives and welts all over from scalp to private parts to btw my toes. I will never take that antibiotic again.
I am allergic to amoxcillan penicillin hydrocodein I also had hives to they last for 2 weeks I was really sick
I have same issue since 2011 any suggestions or medication can cure this.
As a sufferer of chronic hives, zertek caused more hives for me. The best, and what was created first to treat hives, is Claritin. You will find it works the best to relieve the itch and swelling. As new drugs come out, doctors pushed those because they were under patent. Claritin/loratadine is now off patent. So you can get it cheaper and over the counter. It works wonders. Sorry for the discomfort.
I had hives for for half of jr high and half of sr high. Finally found out I was allergic to iodine. Can not eat salt that has iodine in it. It took a lot of time and energy to figure it had to do with salt. But we finally had it down to food that I salted and the doctor determined it was the iodine. I can not have it internally or externally. Either way sever hives to over 95% of my body.
@@brendalankutis6772 me too. It actually is what is used to put iodine into food. An additive they use to process it. Naturally occurring iodine like in seafood should not cause you issues. Its just the processed iodine. Try some seafood. See what happens.
Poor thing! I can relate to this, I have drug allergies.
Same!
My wife got hives all over her body from 7 days of an allergic reaction to doxycycline

I think I have hives from stress now (been over two months). Did yours go away on their own??
@@davidcthomasmusic once I removed what was causing the stress from my life they did. Mine were caused by an ex, so I broke up with him and they went away within a week
@@annahazelwood3330 that’s amazing. I’ve been stressed with work and getting married next month so that’s probably it.
I get hives allot mine is stress related. I went to an allergist and they found no allergies. Even though I get hives and eczema
I get hives from head to toe when I come in contact with latex, or foods that have a cross reactivity to latex. The hives mainly affected my hands and feet. They were so bad on my hands, my fingers were super swollen and I couldn’t even close my fingers. I also got a lot of swelling on my face, including my lips. My ear canals were super itchy, and the roof of my mouth was pretty itchy too. Hives are horrible!
How u get relief
I live in Belfast. I have had urticaria for 20 years. I suffer from severe pain and itching all over my body. I have been receiving treatment for years, blood tests, treatment, a needle in the abdomen, all kinds of histamine pills, creams, and an anesthetic cream for the body, but to no avail. Is it possible to help? What is the solution and get rid of this disease? My allergies come. Of all the days I only want to rest one day
Get yourself a cold water tub.
Ice that sucker down and just take the discomfort for a few minutes, warm up with an electric blanket and get some rest afterwards.
It's the only thing that seems to help other than Zeus-levels of benadryl.
I wish you all the best and sympathize with your plight. I get them to but luckily only once in a while. Only lately has it become more of a problem. No clue what’s causing it. Diet? Stress? Allergic reaction? 🤷🏻♂️ I think I’ll try first intermittent fasting and keto; maybe primarily eating meat. Hopefully that does the trick. Then slowly introduce a select amount of foods. - All the while keeping notes on what I’m eating, how I’m feeling and what my sleep patterns look like, and seeing what the correlation to my hive outbreak is. This shit suuuucks! Hopefully we both find relief. Best of luck to you!
Do you drink beverages from aluminum cans.. soda, sparkling water, or beer? If so, stop for 2 to 3 weeks. The acids in cans corrode the inner aluminum lining. People who react long-term to metal toxins (like myself)... display severe itching, dry chapped skin, etc. Give it a go!
This happened to me when I was working. I worked with At-Risk students visiting a major university 3 hours from home one way. I noticed it during a talk and had to run to the ladies. A female student followed me . Good thing too. The hives were all over my body! From my neck to my ankles! I was dressed for winter., so I had a turtleneck, a sweatshirt and jeans! I had to stay that way until the late afternoon. It was a nightmare!
I get hives and seeing this guy it is making me itch 😭 I have noticed I get hives if I am too hot and if I get really stressed. Goodluck my friend, sometimes hives can last daayyysss 😫
Same i get them when am stressed or anxious and when it’s really hot…i hate summer for that matter
I hate having allergies i get puffy eyes itchy hives wheezing only ever been in hospital 2 times. All different things I am allergic to in different degrees.
I recently discovered I'm allergic to canned beverages (namely aluminum!) For the longest time, I thought food allergens were the cause. I do have some food allergies, but regarding cans... the acidity of the beverage will corrode the inner lining of the can. Long-term exposure to the metal toxin (or even acute toxicity) will cause severe itching or dry/chapped skin especially on extremities & joints. If you've been drinking soda, sparkling H2O, beer from aluminum cans, I urge you to stop for up to 3 weeks. See if the itching & dryness goes away. Also if there's anyone you know, young or old, with eczema that they haven't found a way to control... but they have a habit of drinking sodas or beer from cans, try to get them off that for a duration. It's literally changed my life, & over the course of two weeks, I've seen my body completely change. There haven't been enough studies done on this, but I'm convinced that aluminum allergy doesn't simply involve instances of contact dermatitis. We ingest aluminum on a DAILY BASIS. Canned drinks are heavily consumed & over storage time the aluminum content increases. Give it a try.
Thank you for not promoting and prescribing Prednisone or Antibiotics without finding the cause of the reaction. Too many doctors would have prescribed Prednisone and let him on his way.
once I had exactly the same reaction, and it is not related to products or anything external, the reason is digestive problems
Why in the sam-heck didn’t they do an IGE test while the kid was there so he would know what to avoid!!?!?! This is exactly why our medical system is overwhelmed and just crap.
Maybe there was MSG or other seasoning in the food he ate.
It’s high histamine, I went on a low histamine diet, and autophogy diet and it got rid of everything… I can go back to a normal dies but I will never stop prolong fasting, in all gut health !
I get this when i go in salt water- could it still be something i ate but the slat water just inflames it?
Love the content keep up the great work !
I started with similar a week after Amoxicillin turned out worst days of my life SJS ! Hope you getting better ! I have life changing situation even down to Covid Vacc! As the medical profession in general shy away ! Even down to an echo heart scan they would not give the dye ! Even though it was just strawberry and egg I never was allergic to those !! No anaesthesia unless tested against 250 different combinations ! Even though prior to episode had 4 general anaesthesia ! Just got an appointment for immunology ! (Very rare breed I’ve been told) so grateful !!! Thankyou so much you’re a lovely guy and such a nice Doctor ! 💫🇬🇧
I don't know anyone who developed any type of allergy after the COVID vaccines. That's most certainly extremely rare
I did that with a sulfur drug and one antibiotic.
@@pamelaflirtyskunk7698 haven’t had the vaccine yet until I’ve seen immunology it’s been a bit of a worry and to be honest quite lonely !
I'm glad they got you on immunotherapy! Sounds like you desperately needed it!

Hopefully he figured out what caused this so he doesn't have to go through it again! Hives are NO fun! I have a latex allergy and had to go to the ER for anaphylactic shock even after a load of Benadryl. Hopefully that did not happen to him later.
Oh no, I bet that was scary for you! Benadryl makes me have awful panic attacks. My heart thumps like it's going to come out of my chest. I fear one day having to take it again for an allergic reaction...😬😩😳
He said that exercise makes it worse but curiously the only time I don't get them is when I exercise. I play ice hockey and ice skate frequently and they seem to disappear. I have had urticaria for 3 years and this year has been the worst. Even the higher dose anti-histamines give little relief. They appear around March and disappear in September every year.
I have had hives for almost 2 years. Went to a dermatologist then an allergy doctor and could not find the root cause. Never been allergic to any food so I live with Zyrtec every other day. I hope this goes away soon.
I absolutely love Dr. Paul's personally he is the best doctor ever ❤️
What is it when 90% of my body is covered for almost a year? Chronic ? This is hell on earth .intense itching and thick swollen hives from head to toe .
Hot showers, fermented foods, sugar, Vit D deficiency, scratching, fabric or chemical allergies, etc. All things to avoid or look into.
I am allergic to bee stings. I found this out as a young man. I worked in the forest. I got full of hives in a matter of minutes. I had two episodes of being stung.
Amoxcillian, the reaction was all over and itchy all over for about 3 months, the skin started to flake like psoriasis. Told by British Dr to put moisture cream on, this made the skin wet and weak which when scratch made wounds even worse. 4 years on on still have two patches on my back that thickened skin from scratching, thank God it ended
Why did this pop up on my home page whilst I just found out I had urticaria
I’m currently having a reaction of hives to something, I can’t think of ANYTHING that’s new to me that I’m reacting to. My question is, does the fact that the hives are spreading indicate that I’m still in contact with whatever is causing the reaction? Or does the rash spread and run its course regardless?
Hives are not always caused by an allergic reactions...
I have hives rn too, and I also don’t know where the hell they coming from
I have those constantly.apparently it’s an overactive immunes system
My hives started with a very hot enjoyable shower one day in February then exacerbated with soda and sauerkraut everyday (my favorite). Then the scratching began when I didn't know what was happening and that really inflamed it. I stopped all those things and also started drinking celery juice and it's lessened and now starting to go away.
Wow....those hives looked pretty bad. I wonder if it was something he ate? Could it have been shingles? Wish we had a follow up. Did they eventually go away?
Doubt it was shingles, it’s not usual presentation of it.
I've gotten this from viruses and few times, even into college. For me I usually got the hives BEFORE I got any other symptoms.
I don't really know completely the extent of my allergies, but i get hives from pretty much every piece of clothing i wear, every bed I sleep on, couches, carpet, ect. It goes away a while after showering, but if I don't shower, it will stay for a very long time. I've been getting hives every day for about 3 months now, and its really annoying 😭 Like I just wanna be all cozy in my bed and clothes
It might be the laundry detergent you use
I am a very typical person with almost no allergies except a minor allergy to certain bug bites and seasonal pollen, but I randomly had a full body hives reaction that had me in urgent care on the drip while they waited for test results that came back inconclusive, somewhere out there I have a super allergen and I just live in fear I'll encounter whatever rare allergen I've only met once
My son had this and it turned out it was strep. The bloodwork showed that he had strep without knowing.
I have had hives for nearly 20 years! I finally found out that this was due to mushrooms, I went from doctor to doctor for years and also in different countries. Anyone who is going through this please try to eliminate mushrooms!
Hi...How did you find out, is it through any test?
My daughter has been getting this for several years. She gets them when hot or on the side of her body she is lying on while sleeping. Her back would be covered when I took her out of car seat. I always know when she has a fever before taking her temperature because she gets hives. Ice or cold water calms it. No one can explain it.
Sounds like cholinergic urticaria, they're hives caused by sweating and heating up
@@KAMI-wk7jf only thing is, that causes tiny bumps. Hers are huge welts.
Oh that’s what happened to me but I woke up had some nuts then noticed a scratch, itched it and I think I got the hives but I had my heater on a lot.
you get those rashes due use tapwater for showering. which is full of chlorine
I grew up knowing that I have cold induced hives and they would normally disappear in minutes. But recently I had the reaction while at the gym and I expected them to disappear. But after an hour I had them all over my body including my head. Had to rush to the doctor because the itching was unbearable and I was starting to feel dizzy. Doctor told me that I need to cover up when working out, but Im worried that this will happen again. What can I do to ensure that this does not happen again? I need to get back to the gym😢
I wish someone could identify mine. It looks just his but mine has been attacking me for eight years.
I’m suffering from hives flaring in and out and appearing in different areas. Once it appeared on my face and lips! I was a fish. I have epi-pens handy, but cause is still unknown…. :(
Lol "there could be something lurking!"
❤❤❤
I got hives recently, its actually quite raised pinks spots that itch and get worse with water exposure. I took paxlovid for a stint. Is that what caused it or do I have monkey pocks or measles?
The worst part of it is not knowing what caused the hives rash or why. My 17 yr old son had itchy hives all over his body (arms, legs, back, chest, stomach, one side near ear) just like hers today for the very first time and no other symptoms whatsoever. For a while some of the spots would go away and then pop up in other areas and/or pop up again in similar areas. We gave him one benadryl that didn't do anything but then much later we gave him a Zyrtec and the hives calmed way down and many of them disappeared. He wants to wait and see how he is tomorrow and then we will see. I thought about it all day trying to figure out what caused it and why and everything he ate lately he has had before with no problems and we have been home for most of the summer. It really bothers me as a parent that it's so difficult to find the answer to very first time hives. My question is if it's something he ate before with no problems can he become allergic to it later on?
any updates with your son? Had it 3 summers ago and disappeared. Now, I’m currently having sudden flare ups
yo I always get this when im handling antifreeze. I notice every time I spill some on my hands, I get these itchy spots on my arms and legs. I never really had any allergies when I was a kid growing up but does this mean im allergic to antifreeze?
Not a doctor, but probably. Also could be a chemical burn
Skin fingus i.e. candida or another type? And what would it feed off?
I’ve had hives before and it was not great
Something that has helped me a lot is dry brushing. Find a boar-hair brush and use it on the hives gently. It helps clear them up almost immediately and also feels quite nice. You can also do a full-body dry brushing, which I think flushes out histamines. My case turned out to be an allergy to citric acid, so any fruits or Vitamin C supplements or preservatives. It took me 5 years to figure it out on my own since doctors were completely useless and just wanted to prescribe heavy steroids.
I used to break out in welts if I ate corn; fresh corn, popped corn, corn chips. After a no-corn season, I could eat a little corn sometines without sprouting big red welts. I now think I was reacting to the aflatocin in the corn, not necessarily the corn. I still avoid corn tho...
I broke out in this random rash yesterday. It came and went. It was so weird.
I've never itched so much in my life as I did when I had hives....from Prozac, and I am a major mosquito magnet. There's no comparison -- the hive itch is absolutely unbearable.
Wow I am currently full of hives on upper legs, front and back,arms and upper back. I must have just eaten something
that brought this monument flair up. Mine could be from LUPUS, ???, not sure. I will pick up antihistamines.
I am surely thankful to you.The young man has exactly what I am now experiencing. 🙏🦋😇🥰
My brother get very bad hives when his body over heats any recommendations on what’s he should do when he plays sports outside?
Dr i have affected this disease almost 3 years ago but still i cant take medicines not going what will do ?
I get hives if I am really nervous about something. Once I got hives because I had to sing in front of the whole school for choir. I had to take Benadryl to get rid of it. I dropped choir that year because of the hives.
My sister had hives after recovering from Covid!
Me too for over a year
I am a kid and I have hives everywhere and I am in pain still
Ive had this a few times, intense itchiness that spreads and gets worse the more i indulge and panic. Once when before i realised what it was, when i was 18, and put it down to some wine or fancy gravy, (that had wine and jam in it), it also started to happen when i ate bananas, it would seem i developed an allergy to the only fruit i regularly ate, it also happened a couple times when i got a hot/itchy head (cycled with a wooly hat on and with long hair) and got a bit to into scratching my scalp and caused an all over body histamine, hives reaction.
alleviate
I had hives , head to toe. They start like his but continue to grow til they connect to form even larger ones and they become hard. Lasts 2-3 days. The itch was intense and constant and deep inside the skin as well as on the surface. I would just brush over them gently with my fingers instead of scratching for minor relief. It has nothing to do with what this Dr suggested so hard to prevent other than meds and start on an elimination diet I guess
That kid is so cute.. what’s his name?
If we just let it go, will it disappears by itself? I was diagnosed with catatact and my right eye feel uncomfortable, sometimes my left eye too but seldom. Days ago I had redness on my skin and I visited a doctor and I told him i don't wanna have corticosteroid since I have cataract, he didnt give me corticosteroid in oral but in ointment. I asked him won't it get into blood stream and worsen my catatact, he said no. Besides, he also gave me antihistamine.
But the night after i applied and had the medicine, I woke up with intense pain on my left eye. I stopped the medicine immediately. I still have some redness and they seems like increase. Will it be ok if i skip the medicine?
Hey dr. Paul I need your help I got tested positive for strep throat yesterday and I'm on antibiotics bit I have this terrible cough when I breathe in through my mouth which has been going on with it is this also strep?
I hate hives I have it right now I literally want to peel my skin off
The question is how to know if is from food or clothes? i had a new sweat and i clean in and put outside. pollen make my nose bad but never a skin like that. Food i never had something like that but i drink milk and sometimes make yogourt by my own.
today i take a new pull and i had similar things happen in the first only on the upper body, very little on the right leg and i was wearing this new sweat and im thinking if that happen because this sweat or others things
but nothing was different in my routine day only yogourt that i make and i already eating before but i put a new inuline inside that i try few day ago without any probleme or this new sweat, im lost how to know the difference between allergy from food, outside or clothes
Thank you Doctor Paul. I learned! ❤
Still trying to find out what's causing my hives 😢 they really suck super itchy ughh
You’re making more videos!!!!! Happy now
I get hives by just 1 bug bite. I have had it for years! I had a biopsy done. I have wells syndrome. I take allegra. Spray with bug spray. Gets annoying.
Why am I having it on my cheek area only (my face) and they go after few hours
My son got hives all over from amoxicillin after wisdom teeth removed.
i have hives and they're turning to purple.. I was given a anti allergy shot this afternoon. and still my rashes are itchy and it's turning to purple. I've been taking cetirizine.
For how long can some one takes medicine for hives once it does not go permanently
Daily use of antihistamine like Zyrtec. Then Atarax every 4 hours and a steroid ointment when u have outbreaks. Benadryl doesn’t do it for me, so I keep a supply of Atarax in case of an outbreak. Atarax is an old antihistamine that will make u drowsy, but helps with the itchy skin and hives. Outbreaks feel Ike your skin is on fire, so I treat it immediately. I’ve been on oral steroids, but as soon as u go off, the hives return,so don’t bother with it.
This is what cannabis does when you’re allergic to it. After a decade of using cannabis medically I became allergic and broke out exactly like this and was itching. I tried 4 other products after that and same thing happened. I’m now 16 days off of weed and gave it up for life because of this. I was using mainly concentrates such as RSO.
Got this once after eating 2-3 Snickers ice cream bars every day for a week.
I got a really bad allergic reaction from mushrooms, ate mushrooms all my life, so scary
I get these same type of hives sometimes. I've had them as spots all over (reaction on 6th day of sulfamethoxazole), & also had them more blotchy, as seen here. I never know the culprit. My Mom has gotten hives from using an auger before, & my parents ate too many strawberries once & got hives too. Weird how our bodies react sometimes, & not others! I would love to have allergy testing done, especially gluten.
Don’t take that medicine again. You will have a stronger reaction. This happened to me
My brother had hives just like these and found out he has an anaphylaxis allergy to water. Our minds were blown, he now gets monthly allergy shots that have caused the reactions to stop.
That sucks Omg hopefully that isn’t my case
My grandaughter have hives now and its a week now she has fever also...i thought shes fine she got to school this monday but after her school hives again and fever...haissst its some.kind of frustrating...given her anti histamine and paracetamol
Scented things and chemicals can cause them. My husband got them from our neighbours hiring incense. It took a year for them to finally stop using it. Claratyne helped.
I get these all over my legs and arms when I go to the beach 😖 it is so painful!!!!
Will hives go away on its own? and if so how long doe's it take?
You can take a benadryl to get rid of them. Mine usually go away after a couple of hours. (This is coming from someone who's been getting hives since birth)
@@sonja8566 you don't "Make new ones". You can't physically make new hives. Hives are an autoimmune response to an allergy.
@@IAmTheSkinThief Okay but do you know what i could possibly have? its just one area, its a raised bunch of bumps on my leg its been there for about a year now and im starting to get really worried
Holy crap! I just had this same thing and ended up in the hospital multiple times in one month! I think it's cuz I started instant coffee. That's the only thing I changed. F what a battle that was. Better now but f that was crazy.
I am also having hives recently I started drinking instant coffee. Should I stopped it ?
