Bad Hives, Infection, Heat Rashes. Blood Test Showed Infection. Treatment?

HI , A couple years ago I started to get really bad hives . My doctor did a blood test and he said that I have an infection in my body. I want to all of doctors here and got tested and they could not find any infection in my body.This year I started to get really bad heat rashes and I m going crazy. Is there a permament solution for heat rashes or a cream that could stop the heat rashes? Please help.. Thank you ..

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,
It appears that you have the problem of urticaria or hives. These linear red streaks are basically manifestation of acute urticaria. In most of the cases, there is no underlying cause but sometimes can be caused by worm infestation or food.
You can take tablet loratadine or levocetirizine twice in a day and apply calamine lotion to soothe the itchy areas.
