WOOYOUNG: I have the same condition as you, precious angel! It is incredible miserable when breakouts occur! I broke out in hives *every day* for a year and a half before they discovered what was wrong with me. The itching is like nothing you've ever experienced before, and it can be so dibilitating. I would have episodes where I could not sleep, I would cry, and it kept me from going out in public at times. I would even break skin from the constant scratching. No allergy medications could even touch it or make it better.
Heat and excessive sunlight trigger it the most. I was additionally diagnosed with a sun allergy. Being a redhead with fair skin, that didn't surprise me. 😜
But I know what you're going through. I know it can be embarrassing, it itches so much it hurts, it's frustrating, and it can really take a hit on your confidence! I believe that you must be provided with the most incredible team of doctors, and I hope they consider xolair. It's an injection that I have to get monthly for the rest of my life, but it is a miracle drug. I have not had one breakout since I started. I pray with everything I am that this is considered for you; it changed my life in a big way!
Stay well, sweet Woo, and take care of yourself. I don't have much advice on things that helped, but sometimes lotion helps the itching (just a tiny bit!) and cold water can soothe it a little as well.
