peptide for hives FAQ

Hives are a common condition characterized by itchy, welt-like bumps on the skin. Approximately 20 percent of people will experience hives at some point in their lives.

If you experience breathing difficulties, severe swelling in the face or throat, joint swelling, deep tissue pain, wheezing, abdominal pain, or fever associated with hives, you should seek immediate medical attention.

Over-the-counter antihistamines like loratadine and cetirizine can help relieve itching and discomfort associated with hives. Moisturizer may have a cooling effect on skin.

It is best to avoid aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and topical creams when treating hives, as they may worsen the condition. Resist the urge to scratch your hives.

If you continue to experience multiple bouts of hives that last for more than a couple of weeks, it is recommended to see a specialist such as a dermatologist or allergist for appropriate treatment.
