How Can Hair Loss, Followed By Hives On The Head, Be Treated?
my wife has been experiencing hair loss and has now come down with a case of hives on her head (not mouth or lips) and torso. She had hives back in December and was treated with steroids. The hives came back about every 2 weeks just as the steroid treatment ended. This went on for about 6 to 8 weeks with additional steroid treatment before the symptoms went away.
