Hi,
You could take oral antihistamine medications for a few days and see if it helps with your symptoms.
If the lesions still persist talk to your doctor about it and see what needs to be done after a proper clinical examination.
Try some hot fomentation and see if it helps with the swelling.
Let us know if you have any other doubts or queries.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
Thansk for answering. When this happens, I don't have any other symptoms. Just the itching, swelling, redness and my ankle/foot is very swollen. I have tried calamine lotion and it doesn't help the itching, at all. The only thing that seems to stop the itching is the steroid cream.
I had allergy testing done, probably 20 years ago and the only thing I was highly allergic to was cats. I took allergy shots, (because I had a cat), until I built up an immunity. My symptoms then, was sneezing, itchy, watery eyes, trouble breathing. Haven't had any trouble since.
My Dad is 75 and within the past five years has become extremely allergic to a lot of different things. (dust, cigarette smoke, pollen, etc.) Before this he never had a problem. No one else in my family has any problems with allergies.
Thank you!!
