View allI'm really worried about my ongoing urticaria after being diagnosed with dengue last year. I'm currently seeing a dermatologist and taking Allegra, Famocid, and Doxepin, but it's impacting me mentally too. I'm planning on starting IVF soon, and I'm concerned if this condition might interfere with fertility treatments. Could you help me understand if urticaria could be a problem for IVF?
Your urticaria should not hinder your IVF treatments directly, and your current medications (Allegra, Famocid, and Doxepin) are not typically known to interfere with fertility. However, its always best to consult your fertility specialist about your full medication list. The psychological aspect of dealing with chronic urticaria is valid, and managing stress will be important for both your overall well-being and fertility treatment success.

I've developed this red rash and some small bumps on my arm after donating plasma yesterday. Now its starting to spread to my face and ears, possibly because I've been touching it. The bumps look like little pimples, and theyre just in one area. They're not leaking or anything though. Could this be a reaction to iodine or nickel? Should I try using creams or is it better to see a doctor? I don't have health insurance, so I'm hoping to avoid unnecessary visits.
