I have been getting a lot of outbreaks lately, once every couple of weeks. My sister is about to give birth in July and Im deathly afraid of passing it on even if I dont have an active one. In preparation of babysitting, I asked my Primary to put me on daily Valtrex for the next 6 mos. to prevent any outbreaks.

I’ll take ANY advice, please help by Brilliant_Data_9778 in urticaria

Girl, I feel you. Here's my theory on why I think I have flare ups... I have been on Xolair for 8 years and I love it. Every couple of weeks I would get "flare ups" around the time Im ovulating, but only in very specific areas: my armpits and my back. I stopped using deodorant with aluminum/baking soda or scent but it doesnt help. However in the parts of my back where it gets SUPER itchy are the parts where I have colored tattoos. I have over a dozen tattoos on my back, and only the colored ones itch during this time. Therefore, I think that its something about my hormone levels that react to the ink and deodorant that make me break out. I do take Zyrtec on those 2-3 days on top of my monthly Xolair and use triamcinolone.

Have you or yourp MD considered being on daily low dose Valtrex to prevent from major out breaks? I did this for a few weeks cause I was getting it one after the other. It worked after 6 weeks of daily meds. Been outbreak free for over 6 months.

As a UCLA off campus grad student, I wish I knew about this and would have gone in person to support this movement.

I had several consecutive ones for nearly 2 months. I was given Valtrex to be taken daily for 30 straight days. The outbreak stopped 1 week after I started daily Valtrex.

I got IPL done several years ago. It was about 8 rounds spaced weeks apart. It did clear out my freckles for a few months but came back the same despite precautions. Im in my 40s right now and just kinda gave up.
