Hi friend, yes, I have chronic skin rashes and hives. Mine are from chemical and pollen allergies. I use prescription steroid creams daily and take Gaba Penton at night to calm them down; although there is no known evidence that Gaba Penton helps with itching, but it helps me. My main defense is education and avoidance. Once I got the names of the chemicals I am allergic to from my allergy patch test, I did research for about 6 months to find out the hundreds of things these chemicals are in. Now I work hard to avoid them everyday. I know this isn't a silver bullet and requires a lot of work, but there are no cures for chemical allergies. Have you been tested? If not, I would start there.
