My 11 Year Old Daughter Gets Welts/hives Posted: 05-24-07 19:33pm
Last summer my 11 year old daughter
started getting welts. If she scratched
anywhere, a welt would appear. They don't
last long and can occur anywhere on her
body. She says she feels an itch, she
scratches and then she gets a welt (all
shapes and sizes). Initially I thought it
was from the chlorine of the pool, but
it's months later and she still gets them
on a daily basis. I gave her Claritin for
Hives and it helps her not itch, but she
still gets the welts/hives. Does anyone
have any ideas? I have an alergy
appointment scheduled for her, but in the
meantime, I want to know if anyone else
has experienced this.

She might be having a allergic reaction to
something. A type of food, dust or
anything. You can become allergic to
something all of the sudden that you have
never had a problem with before. The best
you can do is wait to see the allergist
like you said. good luck!
