I've never been allergic to anything before but have been suffering with awful hives for the last week. On Friday evening I was covered all over legs, arms, back. I've been taking piriton which has helped them go down, but my skin still feels 'tingly' so I know if I stop they'll come back. I spoke to the pharmacist who advised e45 cream. It didn't really help, oat baths help for a bit but I can't spend all day in the bath. I have 2 dds and didn't get this before! Am about 8 weeks.
Has anyone got any advise for easing them when they get really bad - the piriton takes a few doses to kick in so I'm itching like mad for ages. (I've tried loratadine as well - that didn't work so switched back to piriton).
TIA
