I recently came down with urticaria - unbelievably itchy. Initially it was just on my lower back but then spread to chest, abdomen, buttocks, behind and inner legs, calves, groin, hands and even feet whilst receiving treatment from the Dermatologist. When I went to see a Dermatologist he prescribed antihistamines and steroidal creams both of which did nothing, the steroidal creams actually making it worse, so then I started experimenting: saline, epsom salts, vinegar, calamine, sorbolene, pinetarsal, ultraviolet treatment and deleting most of the meds I was on. Until such time as the urticaria got better I found the only thing that eased the itch was saline followed by sorblene; however, neither of those cured the condition just treated the symptoms. When the cure did finally come I was receiving ultra violet treatment and using pinetarsal, that combined with deleting Lipitor and coversyl, I believe is what worked. Hopefully this will help someone suffering the same condition!ope that may help someone in the same position!cently came down with urticaria.
