Yesterday, I went for a walk with my brother, and during the walk we had to pass through some fields which was full of knee high grass stalks, most of them with their seeds on show. Being an utter idiot, I thought that my hay fever could stand it – how wrong I was!
When I got home I had a hay fever attack of streaming, itchy eyes, runny nose, and as a I was stupid enough to be wearing little sandals and three-quarter length trousers, my lower legs, ankles and feet all came up in hives.
I have taken anti-histamine, put ice on my legs, etc etc, but it is now a day later and the hives on my legs are KILLING me! They’re still angry and red and raised, and I can’t stop scratching them. My other hay fever symptoms are still here but they aren’t as bad anymore.
Please, please, give me some idea of what to do! I have had these kind of reactions before but never this bad and they had always subsided by now. Is there any sort of home remedies which I can use? I’m willing to try anything right now.
Thankyou in advance! x

I found that if you just splash cold water over you legs and feet then letting it dry by its self stops the hives from itching so much.
hope it helps.
p.s you should go to your doctor and see about getting a stronger anti-histamine.

Try an oatmeal bath for your legs too: I understand that is good for soothing itches.
Good luck!
