Reply to comment by Xiniov in I am a 15f with diagnosed aquagenic urticaria - an allergy to water. Ask me anything! by AlternativeSign272

No clue. I have tried to get into medical trials, but they were all either full (surprisingly) or didn’t want me because I have other pre-existing conditions that may interfere

Have you tried taking a lot of anti-histamines (like benadryl) before showering? like take 2x the suggested dose 45 minutes before hand. It might help (could be use sparingly when desired).

Probably better to use Zyrtec or something else, 1st gen antihistamines are not fun over the recommended dose

My doc has me on xyzal and cimetidine for chronic idiopathic urticaria and if they stop working it will be on to hydroxychloroquine.
