Suggest Treatment For Skin Hives

I used to have bed bugs and I would brake out in hives for two months until I found them under my mattress and got rid of them. Although I never brake out in hives anymore, my neck gets red all the time like it did with the hives as well as occasionally my upper chest below the neck. things that make it red seem to be things like say I cut my hair and there is fallen hair I ve cut off on my chest. it will make the parts of my neck that have scattered hair on it red.

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi,

You seem to have chronic urticaria. You consult dermatologist to have firm diagnosis and proper investigations to find out the cause. The cause may be internal or external. Allergy may be responsible. Allergy tests may be done.

You should take regular and long term treatment.

I would suggest antihistaminics like fexofenadine and doxepin. Steroids in tappering doses for few weeks may be taken. Avoidance of triggers or allergens is needed.

I hope this would help you.

Thanks.
