cool bath or shower (without bubble bath or shower gel), and a cold cloth on affected area. Rash usually subsides after 24-48 hrs. if not, you may need a steroid cream from your doc xx |

Aveeno bath powder. You get it from the chemists and it's not cheap, about £1.50 a sachet. It is however fab for relieving itching and very soothing. Also if the antihistamines you are taking aren't Chlorpheniramine try those. They are much better for dealing with skin complaints than the other antihistamines..
Hope this helps xxx |

I suffered with urticaria on and off for years. Last year it was brought on by codeine in pain killers I was on. Looked like I had chicken pox! I had my usual anti histamines (prescription ones) but to now avail. I couldn't get it under control and was getting me down. After a few trips to doctor and steroid tablets he suggested a diet to follow recommended by a skin specialist. I followed it and within weeks was clear. I excluded certain foods in this diet and slowly introduced them after about 6 months. I have been clear about a year now. Will find the sheet of paper with food list on and get back to you. |

This may only work however if condition is brought on by aspirin/codeine. Give it a go though.
Foods to be avoided.........
Peas
tinned soups
blackcurrants
apples
bananas
grapes
rhubarb
jam or jelly of above flavours
beer
wine
cider
apple drinks
blackcurrant squash
dried fruits
cakes biscuits or chocolate with dried fruit in
eg Xmas pudding
fruit and nut chocolate
muesli type cereal
vinegar
bottled sauces containing vinegar eg tomato sauce, brown sauce, salad cream, Mayo,
pickles
it worked for me.... Good luck.
And I understand how the itching drives you insane! My sympathies. |

Well - it seems to have sorted itself out - will be having a week off work to ensure i don't get too stressed too soon and get it back - the alo vera helped as did the lavender stuff - so thanks again - and Lucy for her pm with good advice - get on the forums once you're able! Z |
