The latest event included my armpit, which is a FIRST. A YEAR later and I still have the hives inside armpit, since always warm, I guess. Previous episodes resolved in 3 to 6 months. I have tried almost everything! Topical burn gel with LIDOCAINE is the only thing that has given me relief. I keep a bottle next to my bed as well one in bathroom n livingroom. See my doctor this Wednesday. Hoping I can get a steroid injection or something, anything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404979.post-44663509547954296162019-11-28T00:24:06.509-08:002019-11-28T00:24:06.509-08:00My hives come in the evenings as well.My hives come in the evenings as well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00810179337619453363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404979.post-45416574526787988352018-09-28T22:56:11.974-07:002018-09-28T22:56:11.974-07:00Hello all.

I've been getting " the hives and rash" every month now for the last 4 -5 months. I finally had an enlightening moment and realized this may be hormone related. I also have had hyperthyroidism for over 34 years. I have a feeling my thyroid is really out of whack AGAIN also. My question is; WHAT kind of Dr should I go see? I cancelled my skin DR appointment because I'm pretty sure it's not from food, soaps, etc. Should I just go see my regular MD? Or an Endocrinologist? Maybe my Gynecologist? Or should I say the heck with these DR's and see a Naturapath? Ugh I hate DR.bills, but this rash is embarrassing. I look and feel like a teenager with zits all over my face. <br />Oatmeal facials and hydrocortisone cream seem to work but more hives just keep popping up every morning. It just seems to cyclical this rash. Very weird. Thnaks for any advice I can get. Glad I found this forum.

Then after having a romantic night with hubby it dawned on me, every time I got hot those itchy things show up, again, I told my husband thanks babe I'm allergic to you. Lol<br />I had my hysterectomy in 2005 at age age 32, I had sever endometreoses, I was done having kids so I figured what the heck, I also seen someone had said something about it being an auto immune issue, Well I was diagnosed with ANA an auto immune disorder during my 12th pregnancy after A Dr I'd never seen before asked to do a blood test to see if maybe he could stop me from losing my babies, 1hour later he told me I had ANA and to take a baby aspirin a day while pregnant, I went on to have a normal pregnancy finally not more miscarriage, I'm wondering if maybe the immune disorder and this one are connected some how., I see my Dr on weds I'm going to tell her what I've read on here hopefully I can get them to go away too.

I have other health issues also but I honesty think its from the meno , if I get one bit over heated or hot flash wham the itching starts all over my back arms and legs , sometimes it feels like stinging like prickly heat feeling , then the spots start , if I stay cool and not to active I'm fine , I can't even go shopping with out moving slow , if I get in a hurry hot flashes start and wham there I go again . I feel like I have no life as all I can do is sit and even then if I get too hot it starts , I'm beyond fed up and want my life back meno is bad enough and so are my other issues . The dermatologist wanted to put me on zantac but I didn't want to take that , so I went to my regular dr and he said singular cause I told him zyrtec didnt agree with me and a few other antihistamines I was using make me so drugged and I'm tired enough as it is . I already take generic nexium for my reflux and some other med for my other stomach condition . Also I have psoriasis and some other issues so you see I suffer enough , the hives are worse than my psoriasis, at least I know what to do with that , this I have no clue if something is wrong , so I am chalking it up to meno , my diet is limted as it is cause I have ibs and all . So the Dr tells me nothing is wrong just my body dosent like something ha , no kidding . Just needed to vent I just want the hives to stop . I will come back and update . Thanks for all your help , I don't feel like I am the only one out here . I hope someone had gotten relief and pray I do also . I want to solve the problem and not mask it with more pills !

I started them last night, and I woke up this morning with hives and itching. I no it must be related to the hormones because that is the only new medication I am taking. I am on doxycycline, but I have taken that in the past without any problem. What I have read today is that there is a connection between estrogen levels and histamine released. My guess is that the estrogen level cannot be too high or unopposed by progesterone, otherwise it can cause itching and hives. What are your thoughts on that?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04610878941110705305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404979.post-58572858065890733182016-11-09T05:23:47.066-08:002016-11-09T05:23:47.066-08:00Hello

Because hives are usually allergy related I thought I would try acupuncture and guess what, 2 weeks of 3 times a week I got relief! Sometimes I feel like they are threating me with a mild itch here and there but after itching for 2 years I am guessing its almost a reflex now. I have missed my 1 time a month appointment the past two months and guess what, they are back with a vengeance, attacked my entire face yesterday within an hour! I will be going to acupuncture and let you know if it goes away again. I am 49 and assumed peri menopausal due to irregularities so I can only guess again, hives= weird hormone levels. If you have not tried acupuncture you should, I also have hives "herbs" I drink as tea when desperate and it calms them. I just prefer the acupuncture, the tea is pretty bitter. Hope this helps someone.

I was pushed into surgical menopause 5 ...Hi ladies. I was pushed into surgical menopause 5 years ago at age 42, after having a Hysterectomy & Oopherectomy. Immediately I began having hives, hot flashes, night sweats etc. The hives, burning, & swelling became so intense that I would scratch until I would bleed & bruise. I was hospitalized a few times for "infectious diseases" that the doctors could never seem to diagnose. I went thru many rounds of steroids & even radiation therapy trying to rid my body of the intense itching. I went thru numerous blood tests and saw 5 different doctors trying to figure it out. After an entire year of this hell, I found a wonderful doctor in Arizona who believed it was all hormonal. She started me on Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy & within 2 months my hives were under control. Honestly, my body let's me know when it's time to get my dose of hormones as I will start to have hot flashes & I will begin to itch all over. If I don't get my hormones soon enough then I will start breaking out in hives. Anyone who has issues with hives and can't seem to figure out the cause, please seek help from a professional Gyn that knows about bio identical hormones and can prescribe them or insert pellets for you. Hope this helps & God Bless! <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404979.post-69937323525680158982015-09-28T09:29:22.535-07:002015-09-28T09:29:22.535-07:00I experienced this as well.

It burns, stings, feels like needles, is hot to the touch and Benadryl cream/pills don't work. Colloidal oatmeal doesn't work. Hydrocortisone doesn't work. Prednisolone has minimal effect after 10 days. <br /><br />What did work?<br />Clobetasol Cream.<br />I grew up with eczema and happened to have Clobetasol on hand for this last bout. I used it twice a day and followed with Gold Bond Eczema Therapy (2% Colliodal Oatmeal) Cream, for moisture.

The hives only got worse after that. My doctor, who is described by other docs in my town as "alternative to the alternative" told me that when my hormones started declining in my late 30's I became autoimmune. As my own estrogen stopped being produced, the autoimmunity got worse and worse. At age 48 my GYN put me on synthetic estrogen, which made the hives CHRONIC, which they have been now for 10 years. (I actually started having hives that were controllable with one Claritin back when I was 39.) In 2011 I found my current doctor, who started me on Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, and this is the only treatment that has worked. I apply the hormone cream 4x per day, and also use testosterone daily and progesterone for the last half of my "cycle." Without this treatment, I would be covered in hives from head to toe. This is the only thing that's worked for me, and I strongly suggest that if this is happening to you, you should find a doctor who prescribes BHRT. Good luck! PS My doctor told me (& I found this in the medical literature as well: there are only 50 documented cases of Autoimmune Progesterone Dermatitis in the world!)blueyes917https://www.blogger.com/profile/17033999965725365371noreply@blogger.com
