Chronic Urticaria [View all]

Hello all

I've been diagnosed with Chronic Urticaria. Medically, there is nothing wrong with me, I am not contagious, and it does not lead to issues later in life. It is simply a cosmetic issue, that I happen to be very self-conscious about when I am having a flare up. I have tried traditional medicine but that hasn't done anything. Can anyone give me any possible solutions as to controlling it a bit more? Maybe something to increase time between break-outs? Reduce the time of present break-outs? I have been trying for over a year and I have gotten nowhere.
