Hello Tapu,

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history and assume you have skin allergy (hives/urticaria).

I would like to make following suggestions to you:

1. I usually prescribe my such patients daily antihistamine like cetirizine/levocetirizine and a short course of anti-parasite drug for intestinal worms. Sometimes worms can cause such symptoms.

2. I would also suggest you to apply calamine lotion over itchy areas. Please do not scratch the itchy areas, scratching would worsen the itching.

3. I would suggest you to take a multivitamin-multimineral supplement for 2-3 months. It may help.

4. I would suggest you to avoid activities producing excessive sweating and too hot or too spicy foods.

5. If you are having acidity despite regular taking ranitidine, I would suggest you to take omeprazole for at least 6 weeks before meals.

6. Please avoid smoking, alcohol and caffeinated beverages as much as possible.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.

Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish you best of the health.

Thank you & Regards.
