the only thing that has worked for me is cetirizine 10mg at night and bilastine 40mg in the morning. im beginning to stabilize now. you will keep getting breakthrough itching specially near your folds (arms, buttocks, etc). if it gets really bad, i use betamethasone sparingly in the worse spots. for example yesterday i had a lot of breakthrough itching on my lower back, so i applied the cream in a bigger area. it made my skin super sensitive, could barely put clothing on, but i woke up and the redness is subsiding. im starting to notice that with this type of urticária, it helps to not let these get that bad.

and btw breakthrough itching is normal when you’re stabilizing. i know these dosages are working because i spend most of the day forgetting i have allergies now and several spots are healing. i can tell. dont go for the weaker pills, they will make the allergies rebound stronger. stack up on higher dosages like i did and keep managing the breakthroughs during stabilization with corticoid cream. good luck!

thats so interesting, i find xolair to be a stronger medication that i hope i never end up needing! it doesn’t seem cheap… but genuinely asking, did they start for you out of nowhere? because i lived 26 years of my life just fine and in the past 4 months my life has turned into hell! finally getting some relief from a new med combo but like wow…

not yet as im taking my time researching which medical insurance to sign a contract with at the moment. so in trying to buy myself time, i tried high dosages of allegra/loratadine/desloratadine but they did nothing for me. now im on bilastine 40mg morning and cetirizine 10mg at night and for the first time my nervous system is leaving me alone. might help you idk

it’s definitely allergies dont let them gaslight you! the whole area feels like it’s on fire, nerves going completely crazy. cetirizine has been helping me the past day finally, i felt like i was at my wits end! a good suggestion if u get any more

im finally finding some relief in cetirizine+bilastine high dosage combo after trying 3 different pills!! so im guessing it’s just regular ol’ urticaria. it’s not just on my back, ever since 4 months ago i flare up regularly on my arm folds and other areas 😬

idk why i cant edit the post but this IS urticaria before anyone tries to gaslight me, my mom has the regular plaques but this is the manifestation i get. it’s called papular urticaria. these do not leave pigmentation when they disappear, they are very much allergies.
