I am 13 years old and I was diagnosed with Chronic Urticaria, too, a few months ago. I have had it since about February though. I don't know if you have been treated yet since this post is old, but I'm on a combination of prednisone, Zantac, Zyrtec, zafirlukast, and Hydroxyzine. I don't think there is a cure, but there is help. I'm receiving shots of Xolair which has helped people, but so far it hasn't helped me so I might try Plaquenil. I hope you have gotten better.
The ONLY time that I ever felt some relief was after getting a 2nd degree sunburn...but I DO NOT suggest doing so!
I just go through life stinking...I don't care what people think anymore...my personal comfort is more important to me than how I look and smell.lol
I DO shower...but only just before I have to go somewhere "special"...like the doctor, dentist, or anywhere where I know that someone will be sitting or standing very close to me.
Of course, being a stay at home mom/business owner helps. lol
Another thing that I find VERY helpful, is to pour apple cider vinegar over my head/body while in the shower. It gets rid of the stench, and because it burns slightly, it seems to help with the itching. I find I get fewer hives since starting this.
Whatever works right?
I also find that using hand cleaner instead of soap and water helps too. My hands don't itch, crack, and bleed like they used to.
