The pics on most urticaria sights normally show the worst cases.I actually have had it for a year now - when I started it looked like I had german measles - it just appeared one day and drove me nuts,then it would go down for a few hours,back up again.My lega and tummy were smothered.Hospital said a common virus could have triggered it and it could take up to 2 years to work its way out of my body! I have had to take daily high doses on antihistamine for a year and it cleared,but this week I forgot to take them and I now have some spots on tummy and chest.Tryand get some antihistamines from chemist and see how it goes.x
