antihistamine
Hi, my dermatologist has prescribed me a antihistamine for my itching and wants me to use it for 4-6 weeks. The med is called hydroxzine. I am concerned because i never heard of anyone using antihistamine for that long. Will this severly affect my liver? Please help!

My allergist told me to try Claritin tabs instead of gel caps but I took one after having my allergy shot and I broke out in hives again. Now all the pollen is out and my eyes are really itchy and red and I have a hard time seeing at work. I tried taking Atarax last night to see if that would help more than Benadryl. Big mistake since I woke up broke out in bad hives. I had to wait to get home to take benadryl since I am not 100% certain that Benadryl does not give me hives.
I have myself experienced a similar situation in the past where the doctor prescribed an antibiotic and a strong antihistamine. My problem was caused by an allergic reaction and an infection from a cat scratch.
Apply calamine lotion at the site of the lesions and see if it helps. You could take some oral antihistamine medications like cetrizine or loratadine. You need to maintain a good personal hygiene .
Anti-itch drugs, often antihistamine, may reduce the itch during a flare up of eczema, and the reduced scratching in turn reduces damage and irritation to the skin.
For mild-moderate eczema a weak steroid may be used (e.g.

s how I felt. You probably need some help like I did. Cortisone cream - over the counter and a antihistamine. That's how I felt. I was going crazy.......
Mast cells are found primarily in the skin and digestive system, including the liver and spleen, and produce histamine, a chemical most famous for its ability to cause itching.
Mastocytosis comes in three forms. Most cases produce symptoms but do not shorten life expectancy. The three forms are:
Mastocytoma, a benign skin tumor.
Urticaria pigmentosa, small collections of mast cells in the skin that manifest as salmon or brown-colored patches.
dear doctor, can you please tell where we can treat Mastocytosis, the baby was born with it and it's 2 months old now, he was born with swollen liver and spleen and he was treated only after a month with antihistamine, we are in Macedonia.
Hello,
Itchy skin without any rash can be due to dry skin, psoriasis, dermatitis, scabies and hives, internal diseases like liver and kidney disorders, diabetes, iron deficiency anemia, irritation and allergic reactions to chemicals, wool, soaps, cosmetics and certain foods.
For such itching oral antihistamine such as Benadryl or Claritin can be used.
I just went to the Dr today cuz I had the same problem..the Dr said it was just an allergy rash and to take benadryl and use a over the counter antihistamine?? it's kinda helping but I'd ask your Dr just in case it's something else??
