Physical Urticaria,

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi, every year I get Urticaria starts about January ends about may, areas side of the face and backs of hands, pretty itchy flaking skin, tried the usual creams etc, just lately I've started using peppermint essential oil, 2 drops to a teaspoon of carrier oil sweet almond oil, it seems to stop the itching makes the skin smoother, anyone else use something different.

    I have the same problem. No relief despite using various moisturizers. Hence I would also be interested to see the views on this subject.

      Hi, nothing I use stops the Urticaria, I've just tried to deal with the symptoms every year for about 10 years, I've tried all the usual stuff, I think some people have a system that's prone to allergies etc, I used to suffer with Rhinitis bad when younger, that went and now Urticaria, I also have Rheumatoid Arthritis so could be a link there, and IBS.
