When you start sniffling and sneezing, you know spring has sprung. Check out these four natural remedies to nix spring allergies.
In simple urticaria i.e. in absence of itching no treatment is required.
If it is associated with antihistamines like citirizine or loratidine can be used against prescription. This helps to prevent such attacks. If skin is dry then you also need to use emmolients (such as hydrated petrolatum applied daily, immediately after bathing).
If above treatment is not effective then H2 anti histamine can be added. In some patients sun exposure or exposure to UVB light treatment improved the condition.
You may have to take this treatment indefinitely if persists. I suggest you to consult dermatologist. Take care and regards.
