Hives Treatments Austin
The key to finding relief from your hives is learning how to manage them yourself on a daily basis – and working with your doctor to develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Whether your hives only bother you at certain times of the year or are a constant nuisance, here are the most common ways to relieve your symptoms:
- Avoid the cause of your hives (if you know it)
- Don’t use hot water (take frequent showers or baths in lukewarm water only)
- Use gentle soap when bathing
- Apply calamine lotion to relieve your itching
- Try to work and sleep in a cool room
- Wear loose-fitting, lightweight clothes
Doctor-Recommended treatment:
- Consult your dermatologist about controlling your symptoms (particularly if you have chronic hives and do not know the cause).
- Pay close attention to your symptoms, (keep track of how, where and when they flare up to help your doctor properly diagnose and treat you).
- Develop a treatment plan with your doctor.
- Discuss your treatment plan with your doctor to ensure that it fits into your lifestyle.
