Hi I was diagnosed with Urticaria today by Dermatologist but on reading information on here I'm not sure this is what I have.
The rash looks the same but I have had it for about 8 weeks I get more every day but they never fade away. The Doctor told me to take 4 antihistamines a day does any one have any ideals please

What exactly are your symptoms can you elaborate I've been suffering with this uncontrolable itchy rashes now for almost 3 yrs and the last few mnths ive been getting hives now along with it. I have'nt even been diagnosed yet and i'm starting to lose hope. I'm going to see a umminologist hope it helps. Hopefully they diagnose you with the right thing see how it works and if it doesnt I would go back

Hi the rash started about 8 weeks ago with one ring like mark on my neck I then got one on my arm by the time I had a doctors appointment they had increased to about 6 including 2 on the top of my leg.
The dr diagnosed ringworm and gave me cream that didn't help at all and I got more each day. After a week I saw a different Dr who agreed they were ringworm and gave me anti fungal tablets for 7 days they didn't work went back again saw different Dr and given a 6 week course of a different anti fungal tablets after a week I could see they were not working so went back saw another different Dr who didn't think it was ringworm but didn't know what it was so referred me to the hospital to see a dermatologist.
My systems are areas on my breast neck top of legs bottom and both arms have groups of ring like rash with little spots as well they never disappear but I get more each day and as they get bigger they merge together. They are itchy when I'm hot but feel sore most of the time.
The Dermatologist I saw last night said they were urticaria maybe caused by the blood pressure medicine I am taking and he told me to speak to Dr about trying a different one and to take 4 antihistamines daily. What worries me though is every one on here with Urticaria says there spots come and go but mine are there all the time but just get more that merge together. Don't know if this help hopefully you will get your sorted out soon 3 years sounds awful x

Like i said im starting to lose hope its affecting every part of my life but i always have to keep the faith. Mine is way diff then yours and if the immunologist doesnt have an answer. I'll be very discouraged. Yours sound awful to hope they can figure it out soon keep in touch. Just hope this is not something i have to live with for the rest of my life
