How do you get rid of itchy hives on your skin?

Hives are an allergic reaction. To stop it from happening, remove the allergen from your life. It could be anything from your boyfriends cologne to the soap you use to your neighbors new exotic tree. \n\nThe itch is from histamines. To stop the itch, you need to put an anti-hystamine in your system like Benadryl. It will reduce the swelling and slow the itch.\n\nIf at any time you feel your throat closing up, go to the emergency room instantly. Do not wait! \n\nIce and or cool baths will help sooth the hives. Drink lots of water and stay cool. Do not wear clothing that is binding around the hive area. Make sure you notify friends/family or at least someone that you are having an allergic reaction. They should check on you about an hour after taking the pills as these make you tired. If you fall asleep, your friend/family should make sure your breathing is steady and strong.\n\nAs a follow up, go to your doctor. Inform her/him that you had a reaction. If you don't know what caused it, you will need to see an allergist.

You may want to try taking sugar out of your diet and applying Aloe Vera gel to the area after bathing and whenever it itches.  The Aloe can eventually heal it almost completely if you apply it consistently. For extremely itchy eczema, you may want to try applying cooked, watery oatmeal to the area when it's really acting up. It can take the itch out almost immediately! Make sure you stop using any of the above if you seem to be having an allergic reaction or if it seems to make it worse, because people with eczema often have allergies to all sorts of normal every day things that don't bother other people.

Soak her in a bath with baking soda.  It will help relieve the itch.  They have to go away on their own.  Watch what she eats that isn't normally a part of her diet.  Make sure she isn't under undue stress.  If she isn't too young (under twelve) you can try an antihistame.

Long, hot showers or baths can cause overall itching especially this time of year. They dry out the skin. It is called winter itch.\n\n1. Try taking a quick shower with warm water.\n2. Put lotion on body as soon as you get out even before skin\n   is completely dry.

I know where you're coming from. My urticaria tends to get worse at night sometimes too. It tends to happen when I get hot.  Or if the sheets feel dirty. \nI have had chronic urticaria as long as I can remember (I'm 20) My allergist couldn't even do an allergy test on me because just being poked, even without an allergen on the needle, caused me to break out.  I have been taking ranitidine and singulair for the past year, and it has been helping, although it has not cured it.  Try taking benedryl before you go to bed. It is a anti-histamine, which will help the hives, and it will make you sleepy also. I wouldn't recommend doing that long-term though. I only do it when I am absolutely desperate for sleep.  If you are allergic to any foods, it could just take a while for your system to react to it, so watch what you eat for dinner, or go on a elimination diet if you strongly think that food is the cause. I was told that a chemical in tomatos can make allergic reactions worse, so while they may not cause a reaction, if you have a reaction while that is in your system it could make it worse. If you have anymore questions or would just like to talk to someone with the same problem, then you can e-mail me or message me at amy_edrington@yahoo.com  Best of luck

You can either go to herbdoc.com or take some aloe vera gel from the plant and after washing your face with a good all-natural herbal soap and patting your face dry like they do in the commercials(rubbing causes inflammation and scarring) take some aloe vera gel from the plant and apply it to your face overnight and wash your face in the morning using the same technique. Itching will stop overnight and rash withing a couple of days and it is all-natural. Good fortune.

I've got one for you to try.  I was an asthma sufferer for all of my life.  I worked with a doctor that had many "old-wives tales" remedies and I tried this one and I swear to this day that this is what worked.  You need to find a local honey bee keeper and buy some honey from your community.  The bees bring back the pollen from the local plants (allergens) you need take 2 tsps 2x a day.  This will build up your tolerence to your local triggers.\nhope it works...I have not had a flare up since doing this...if I move I start all over again.

You should take some Benadryl by mouth then apply Benadryl cream or hydrocortisone cream to the rash to help with the itching. That should get you by until you see the doc. Good luck.

It sounds like hives, an allergic reaction to something, also known as contact dermatitis.  These hives can last up to 6 weeks!  I know I got them on my legs from god knows what.  If they get worse or if they are just bugging you you should see a doc and they can give you oral and/or topical medication to clear it up.

What you might have is a skin condition called Hives.  To best treat it, focus on making yourself feel better because its caused by nerves.  Stop stressing about things you really can't change.  I have found chocolate to help.

you can use calamine lotion, but you will have pink spots all over you.  My son used, alcohol wipes. it dried up the poison oak quick and helped a little with the itching.
