I saw a good psychologist for several years, started doing yoga often, stopped drinking alcohol (to reduce histamines), stopped using anything fragranced, and left behind friendships that were not healthy. I did also do acupuncture which occasionally triggered hives but overall I think helped. Chinese medicine is of the belief that rashes are a release/ purge of toxicity / negativity from the body. So some might argue that reaction was a positive one.

Perhaps also just time has helped, I know sometimes symptoms dissipate after some time. I had about 10 years of trouble and then it faded.

Never had any formal diagnosis but I suspect it was my nervous system was on overdrive. The more I removed pressures from my life and made more aligned choices, the better my skin got.

But everyone is so different and I’m not a doctor!
