What if the reason your hives keep coming back has nothing to do with what you ate, touched, or put on your skin?
When itchy welts appear without warning, it is natural to start searching for an external trigger. But chronic hives are often not an allergy problem at all.
In this episode, I explain what is actually happening inside the body when hives appear, what helps, and why there is a genuine reason for hope for people with chronic urticaria.
People who suffer from chronic urticaria will spend years searching for an external trigger. But changing food, medication, soap, your house, or a mattress isn’t the solution because that is not the cause. -Dr. Deepa Grandon
