How Can Severe Urticaria Be Treated?

hi I started with severe urticaria 8 months ago. Nothing really has helped - anti histaminics with no effect in high doses I had an injection of diprospan 20 days ago and it helped me a lot with omission of pruritus and lesions. But the pruritus have now re started Can i take another diprospan now? thanks

Hi,

If anti-allergic (antihistamines) and steroids does not improving urticarial reaction than possibly the allergen is constantly present inside or in contact with the body. There are multiple possibilities which must be rule out.

One of the reason could be autoimmune disease in which antibody targets body's own cells and causes such reaction. So consult allergic specialist to rule out causative allergens and autoimmune disease if any present.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
