Question

I'm only getting hives on my hands and feet. They start as small red dots and then spread out into a circle. It's super itchy, and even though I take antihistamines like cetrizine, they only give me temporary relief. Omnacortil works to clear them up, but I can't use it every day because of its side effects. What can I do about this?

To manage recurring hives on hands and feet, consider consulting a dermatologist or allergist to identify underlying causes, and explore alternative treatments like immunotherapy, sublingual immunotherapy, or medications like montelukast or cyclosporine, while also maintaining a symptom journal and avoiding potential triggers.
