How can I permanently cure my chronic hives (urticaria), and is it safe for me to get the COVID-19 vaccine given my history of psoriasis, eczema, and severe allergic swelling reactions to medications like Relent and cetirizine?
While there is no instant permanent cure, they often resolve over time and can be successfully managed. Since you reacted to cetirizine and Relent, an allergist can help find safe alternative treatments, such as targeted biologic therapies. Regarding the COVID-19 vaccine, having eczema or psoriasis does not prevent you from getting it. However, because of your history of severe swelling to medications, it is highly recommended to consult your allergist first. They can safely evaluate you, and if cleared, you can receive the vaccine under medical supervision with an extended observation period for your safety.
