Good day to you my friends,
The reason of my being in here is because of my recent development of urticaria. I'm only 22 years old and I haven't experienced anything like this until last year, and it has continued to grow worse with each passing day. Is this something that I should get scared about? I haven't gone to the doctor for any formal analysis yet, but through my own research of the itches and welts I've been having, I have identified my case as Urticaria. I get ring-like itches on the palm of my hands and then when I get scratched lightly, the portion of the scratched part swells a bit and starts to get itchy, giving my arms or leg a weird embossed look. I could even make out words on my skin if I tried.
But since I've been plagued with this for almost a year, I'm starting to get scared already because as I've read, there are no cures for it :(
Hoping to get a feedback soon, any insight will do.
Thankfully Yours,
Tenno
I've had it off an on all my life. Only realized what it was when it started to get bad @~18y.o. 24 now, it's just gotten worse. It seems really terrible at first (first1-2), but then it can get so much worse. taking singulair, antihistamines, and cyclosporine (basicly chemo) now. It makes it sort of under control as long as i severly limit my diet and activities.
