Hives With Peeling Fingers And Toes Someone Help Me Please! Posted: 03-30-05 19:38pm
Hello everyone. I am hoping someone can
give me some help with this. I have been
suffering with hives and peeling fingers
and toes for 5 weeks. It started out
with the tips of all fingers and toes
becoming very hard. Then got 1 hive.
Four days later got another hive. In the
meantime, fingers and toes still peeling.
I had bloodwork for everything and it was
all normal. I then broke out in them
everywhere. They got so bad that I had
to get a shot of cortisone. Also taking
benedryl. Tried zyrtec and clarinex,
they both did nothing. Only the benedryl
works. Went to an allergist who said
it's food related. She can't test me yet
until the hives are gone she said. Went
to a dermatologist who looked at them and
said they were a latex allergy. However
in the past 5 weeks I have studied
everything I have touched, ate, came in
any contact with. There is no pattern at
all. No new anything at all. And food
allergies do not explain the peeling
fingers and toes. I may have had contact
with latex 5 weeks ago, but not at all
since then. I am aware of all the things
latex is in. But, I still continue to
get the hives although they are much
better than before. Also, I had a cousin
who got hives 2 years ago, she had them on
and off for 1 year, then they dissapeared
and have not come back. Any info or
thoughts on this would be geatly
appreciated. Thanks.

If it's just the hives, they can come for
a different number of reasons-- stress
even being one of them-- Since your
symptoms aren't going away I'd contact
your doctor again.
