I CONSTANTLY SUFFER FROM SKIN PROBLEMS

-

Q I’m a 30-year-old woman and have been suffering from skin issues all my life, from allergic eczema to rashes and contact dermatitis. Now, I’ve been diagnosed with hives. What should I do? definitely suggestive of severe atrophy, where due to his/her genetic predisposi­tion, the sufferer becomes highly prone to severe skin allergies.

Your present condition of hives is medically diagnosed as urticaria. If it lasts more than eliminatin­g the allergen. In the case of chronic urticaria, oral antihistam­ines are the first line of treatment, followed by short courses of oral corticoste­roids in resistant cases. You can consult a skilled dermatolog­ist for a detailed diagnosis.
