Skin allergy treatments
Antihistamines are a frequently recommended treatment for hives (urticaria). 1
They work by blocking the effect of histamine, a chemical in the skin that can cause allergy symptoms.1
In addition to antihistamines, your allergist may recommend cold compresses or anti-itch salves to ease the symptoms.1
Severe episodes of urticaria may require temporary treatment with a corticosteroid medication or an immune modulator. If your reaction involves swelling of your tongue or lips, or you have trouble breathing, your allergist may prescribe an epinephrine (adrenaline).1
