Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello. Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com. I have read your query. I understand your concern. Urticaria is an allergic condition of skin characterised by itchy red raised lesions. It can be caused by allergy to recent infection, any food, seasonal change, drugs, pollen grains etc. In such cases, I prefer to advise oral antihistaminics like combination of levocetrizine and montelukast to my patients for atleast 6-8 weeks. In severe cases, consideration is given to start oral steroids.
In case you get repeated attacks of urticaria with no response to antihistaminics, you may need oral steroids .
Kindly upload your reports of Thyroid profile
and blood sugar.
I hope it helps.
Take care.
