Itching and Different Antihistamines

by Daniel
(United States)

My name is Daniel and I have had this hives problem since I was in 8th grade. I am now a freshman and just moved into my dorm. I itch every single day all over my body and it is killing me. Websites say that it doesn't affect daily life, BUT IT DOES. I can’t do anything without itching. Even walking makes me itch. I went to a dermatologist and he gave my different anti-histamines. None of them work and I don't know what to do. I wish something could help me be normal.

 Itching and Antihistamines
by: Rosemary

I don't know if what I have is dermatographism. I have itching all over and these little red bumps come out and itch real bad. They go away and just pop up in a different place on another day. People think I am crazy.

It started in Nov 08 and I have gone to a dermatologist and allergist, with hardly no itch relief. They think it is some type of bacterial infection. They gave me antibiotics. I have used all the creams and pills. Now I'm on hydroxyzine 25mg, 4 pills a day. I started at 1 every 6 hours. I've had to adjust it from 1 to 4 pills because the itching would get more intense. I still itch everyday but not all the time or all over my body. My back and legs itch all the time. Any idea's?
