hi,
thank you for putting up your query on HCM.
as per your history, you have acute urticaria.
-- yes, for sure, urticaria may be caused by food.
my treatment advise would be:
1. make a list of food, after which you get red colored lesions.
2. avoid eating sour food like lemon, tomato, sauce etc for at least 4 wks.
3. take levocetrizine twice a day for about 4 wks.
4. you may also take tab ranitidine 150 mg twice a day before food.
5. you may also apply soothing lotion such as calamine lotion twice a day.
if persistent, you may consult a dermatologist nearby as you may then require a short course of corticosteroids.
wishing you good health.
thank you
