Daily Hives?

[whatsername_]

It may be your laundry detergent. I've recently learned the hard way about how that can realllllly upset skin. Especially if it's sensitive.

Have you changed soaps or laundry detergent recently?

I would recommend a bath or lotion with oatmeal to help.
That's what's helping me right now.

I get hives when I eat anything... spicy. I can eat jalapenos or any kind of pepper really but can't eat Tabasco, Cholula.. hot sauce in general. And I can't eat hot wings or hot Cheetos. Things like that.
Whenever I do I get hives on my face, and sometimes on my body. On my body I used calamine lotion (it helped with the itching), and I never used anything on my face. I did take Benadryl once, the liquid one (I feel it works faster), and it helped with my face quite a bit. My hives were usually giant welts, and with Benadryl they turned into small bumps.

Have you looked up PUPP? It's a rash one can get during pregnancy.


I feel your pain.. I took my graduation pictures with hives on my face, thankfully they weren't too bad and I had my face semi airbrushed.

I don't think I have PUPPP, it's like I'm just scratching myself raw.
Mine is possibly laundry detergent, but we don't know. Sigh.


As for an oatmeal bath, just run some warmish water (hot can make the itching or hives worse) take any kind of oats and some baking soda.
I know Aveeno also makes an oatmeal bath but it's more cost effective to make your own.

I used to have hives and I have just know the reason when I eat sea foods. It is really uncomfortable.
