Have you ever had a stress rash?

I believe they’re the same as hives…?

If you have, how did you deal with them (or better yet, get rid of them!!)?

I had these hive-like things show up on my collarbone area a few days ago and I don’t know how to get rid of them. 😞
It’s annoying

Yes. I used to suffer very badly from it. I was diagnosed with urtacaria and i was treated with oral steroids and antihystamines and a cream to ease tge itching. It was awful. Usually, bouts would just start with a little iych, say, on my arm and with in minutes it would spread to my entire torso. It would last a couple of hours and go leaving no trace!
But this one time, about 15 years ago, during a not so great time in my life it just didnt go away. It lasted about a month...i was off work for weeks.
But.....i hardly ever get it these days, in fact i cant even recall the last time i did!

@RubySoo oh man that sounds awful….I’m glad you don’t get that anymore!

@ImpeccablyImperfect thank you.
I hope you manage to get yours under control. It might be worth trying to work out if any foods you eat affect it too. Dairy made mine worse.... and i always ate more chocolate when i got stressed.
