What Causes Hives On Neck When Suffering From Fatty Liver?
Question: i've been diagnosed with mild / moderate fatty liver. just over the last month i ve gotten hives (raised wheals/plaques) on my neck, chest, back area. prednisone cleared it up but after i was off it they came back. can the hives be cuased by the fatty liver. i do drink alcohol. i have not seen an allergist.
Brief Answer:
Hives have nothing to do with fatty liver....
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
If you are having hives for about 1 month, it is considered acute urticaria. The cause might be:
- any medication you have used recently
- any new foods/drinks you took prior to hives appearing
- insect bites
Being diagnosed of mild/moderate fatty liver has nothing to do with hives, unless you are taking any medication that could be a possible cause.
Next, you are reporting to continue drinking alcohol although you have fatty liver. That's not good for your liver as it will aggravate its condition leading to advanced stages of fatty liver.
I advise to watch what you drink. Certain alcoholic drinks do contain preservatives or colorings that can also cause urticaria (hives).
Hope it helped! Let me know if you need further clarifications!
