Suggest Treatment For Hives On My Face And Chest Area

I have hives, and a red rash on my face and upper chest area. I was treated with Prednisone for 12 days a which greatly improved it. It was virtually gone. Then 3 days after finishing the steroid it started in again and now I am very miserable -it s very itchy. Any suggestions for treatment? My PCP said it was urticaria caused by the cold weather.
