Urticaria pigmentosa?
Expert ReplyCondition analysis:
Use of antihistamines, daily. This helps with the allergic symptoms but not the appearance of the UP. Always hopeful that something more could be discovered about this disease.
Instructions:
1. Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is another good remedy for hives. Its antihistamine properties will help relieve inflammation quickly and regulate the body’s immune system response. It also plays a key role in restoring your overall skin health.
-- Add two cups of apple cider vinegar to a bathtub filled with warm water. Soak in it for 15 to 20 minutes once daily.
-- Alternatively, dilute apple cider vinegar with an equal amount of water and use it to wash the affected skin two or three times a day.
-- You can also mix one to two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water. Add a little lemon juice and honey to improve the taste. Drink this three times daily.
Follow any of these remedies daily until your condition improves.
2. Oatmeal
Oatmeal works very well for hives. Its anti-irritating, anti-inflammatory and soothing properties help provide relief from itching and help your skin heal quickly.
-- Combine one cup of baking soda and two cups of ground oatmeal. Add this mixture to a bathtub filled with warm water. Stir it well and soak in this water for at least 15 minutes. Enjoy this soothing bath twice daily until your condition improves.
-- Alternatively, mix together two cups of oatmeal, two tablespoons of cornstarch and enough water to form a paste. Apply the paste on the affected skin for 15 to 20 minutes. Wash it off with lukewarm water. Follow this remedy once daily.
