Hello. I have been experiencing hives for 5 days now. I have been to a doctor and have been placed on a steroid pack for 6 days. I believe my hives are a result of exposure to mold and Scrubbing Bubbles cleaning solution. I am wondering if hives are a common occurrence from mold exposure? and beyond getting rid of the mold in the home and taking over the counter anti hestimines, is there anything else I can do?
Hi, Hives or urticaria as known in the medical world, is the outbreak of swollen, pale red bumps or plaque on the skin. This is due to exposure to certain allergens. Mold or scrubbing bubbles cleaning solution that you've been using recently can explain the hives' outbreak. Steroid pack will help ease the hives. Can also apply HY Chat Doctor.  However, keep in mind that going away from the primary causative agent is the final solution to hives. So, try not to use the cleaning solution that you think have caused hives. While, in regard to mold, well ventilation and cleaning of the house can be of help. Wish fast recovery.
