Hello doctor,

From December last year, I was sometimes having mosquito-like bites (swelling and itching) over my chest and back at midnight which I thought to be insect bites. I started using anti-allergy pills which would subside the problem. I had Montair LC on and off for 20 days but the problem used to come back. Gradually, I realized these are not insect bites and these pin-like swelling which only goes away by anti-allergy is hives/urticaria. Though my problem is not very severe, but it is gradually increasing. I keep a beard and my bearded area now gets hives too. As soon as I have my breakfast, I start having these eruptions (earlier it only used to happen at night). They are more of a burning nature and a little itchy.

I exercise a lot and I am very regular at the gym and sometimes as soon as I am done with my gym, my body is very sweaty and I start having hives. Even after having a bath (over the body) and after washing face (on the face). I follow a strict diet. I do not administer food after 8 in the evening. I try to have anything I like during the daytime for breakfast and lunch. I am very fond of eating dry fruits and sweets like chocolates, biscuits, and ice creams. I crave sweets and salty things during the day.

I would also like to tell you that in the month of January, I was diagnosed with gastritis with small ulcers (irritable bowel syndrome). For that, I every day have one spoon milk of magnesia syrup before sleeping. I still sometimes have gastritis problems where I have a sudden urge to pass a large amount of gas through burping and farting which is generally triggered by raw onion and garlic. But, I started using probiotics which provided a kind of relief for my gastritis.

I would like to ask you which foods I should ignore and what homeopathic medicine should I have to subside my hives problem. Please have a look at the picture of the hives I have attached.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen your photos of your problem (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Commonly, many are sensitive to mosquito bites. The result is a red bump and itching. A male mosquito's bite is harmless. They feed only. Female mosquitoes produce some symptoms. They release some toxins which cause immune system reaction. This syndrome is called as Skeeter syndrome.

Check blood for:

  1. Differential count.
  2. Absolute eosinophil count.
  3. Measure IgE and IgG to mosquito saliva antigens.

Regarding homeopathic treatment, having seen your photographs, according to that I suggest:

  1. Ledum Pal 30 (Ledum palustre) and Urtica Urens 6. They are good to prevent allergy.
  2. And for your IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), Nat Phos 6X (Natrum Phosphoricum with alcohol) is useful.

Prevention:

  1. Use repellants.
  2. No diet restriction for bites.
  3. For gastritis and IBS, reduce spicy and sour food.
  4. Follow up after 15 days.

Hello doctor,

Thank you for your reply.

But I just want to inform you that the pictures I sent you were not of mosquito bites but the allergy which happens on its own after bath/after gym/at midnight or after having breakfast. I thought it to be mosquito bites as it looks like that but later got to know it is urticaria though not a severe kind. When allergy happens, it happens simultaneously at different parts of the body. So, shall I go in for the medicines you above prescribed or some other medicine? Also, please tell the potency of the same.
