Hello Nazi Iran, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. From your history, I think you might have what we call "chronic urticaria" as you have been suffering from more than 6 weeks. There are many possible causes including allergy and non-allergy. Common causes are infections (viral, some bacterial, parasites), Chat Doctor.  There are many physical causes like excessive sweating, hot/cold water bath, sun exposure, etc. So personally I would suggest investigations like CBC, ESR, CRP, urine and stool examination. If this can give clue to the cause, I would treat it. Taking daily levocetirizine & montelukast during daytime, Atari before sleep and continuing lotion application will help till the diagnosis is made. I would also suggest avoiding activities causing excessive sweating and avoid woolen or tight clothing. Loose-fitting and cotton clothes are the best ones for this condition. Hope this will be helpful to you. Wish you a quick recovery and best of the health. Regards.
