Low iron and urticaria

[Jojo2709]

Hi I've just been diagnosed with urticaria and found out I'm low in iron could this be the cause of my urticaria?

Many thanks joanne

I too have urticaria but not low iron. My immunologist told me they don't know why people suffer with chronic urticaria. They have managed to stop my rash but not the itch. I get the itch particularly now in my throat. I take 4 antihistamines a day and sometimes I still itch. The doc says it can be linked to a weak or compromised immune system. As I have many neurological symptoms and suspected MS I link mine to that. If you are having other symptoms then maybe there is a link. Mine resulted in anaphylaxis until treatment. This is quite rare though. If you have not been seen by an immunologist then ask your GP to make the referral, I am on citirazine which is safe to take for long periods. Hope you get something sorted. Don't just settle for beceause it is or not sure. Push for answers or links.

Apparently there's so many causes it could be it's hard to pin point.. I've just found some cream which actually does take away the itches in an instant and can last for up to 10hrs 😁 it's called EURAX soon as I applied it to the itch it was gone I got it from the chemist..you seriously need to try it

Hopefully it will work for you too 😁 let me know how you get on
