Sharing my experience of suffering after underestimating hives.

This is my experience of suffering from hives (rash, swelling) on my skin for the first time since May of this year.

At first, I underestimated the hives, thinking they would get better on their own, so I just waited.

Hives have spread all over my body and have become very severe, so I am currently receiving treatment at the hospital.

 

On the evening of May 15th this year, Teacher's Day

Six people, including a high school teacher and alumni, gathered together.

I ate sashimi with soju at my mentor's neighborhood raw fish restaurant.

And the next evening, redness and swelling appeared on the skin, forming hives.

Initially, it was thought that the hives were caused by an allergic reaction to the seafood restaurant's food.

I waited, thinking that time would make things better.

 

Since then, I have continued to drink alcohol at a seafood restaurant 1 to 2 times, but the hives reaction has persisted.

So I thought the cause was raw fish, so I avoided eating raw fish and drank alcohol.

Hives appeared even after not eating sashimi and drinking other foods and alcohol.

I feel fine the day I drink alcohol...

Hives occur about 12 hours after drinking alcohol.

Hives disappear after 1 to 2 hours.

And for about 24 hours, intermittent hives keep recurring...ㅠㅠ

Hives occur more frequently on the lower body than on the upper body.

So I thought alcohol was the cause...ㅠㅠ

However, I developed hives even though I did not drink alcohol...ㅠㅠ

Alcohol was not the main cause.

The hives worsened the day after drinking alcohol.

 

Hives continued to occur mildly, but

I just thought I was getting better, and even though it's hard, I endured and kept going...ㅠㅠ

Then, on the day I took the joint supplement, I developed a severe rash...ㅠㅠ

So I thought the joint supplement was the cause, and I didn't take the joint supplement either.

But it seems to have gotten a little better...

I developed severe hives all over my body again in the early morning.

I barely slept...ㅠㅠ

 

 

So, I went to Cheonju Saint John Hospital, which is famous for its dermatology clinic in front of my house.

I am receiving treatment and taking 2 antihistamine pills as prescribed.

Since then, no hives have occurred at all.

I sleep very comfortably and feel good...^^

Never underestimate or ignore hives when they occur.

Please visit the nearest dermatology or allergy clinic for treatment...^^

 

All the blood test results at the hospital are normal...

The allergy level is over 400 (normal is below 100).

Allergy antigen testing was conducted at Cheonju Saint John Hospital Dermatology.

The test results indicate that the cause of the hives is dust mites and storage mites.

My body does not react to food or other substances.

I only had allergic reactions to house dust mites and storage mites.

 

Growing the disease through hasty judgment like me

Also, don't suffer from insomnia caused by itching.

When a rash appears on the skin

Please make sure to go to the hospital immediately for treatment...^^

Two antihistamine tablets (the round pills in the photo below) will solve the problem... haha
