Clinical narrative: Allergist diagnosed me with chronic spontaneous urticaria and dermatographism. The below is pasted from the visit notes:  Rash started early November- 11/9/21. Monday she was sitting in school (she is a teacher) and noticed that her head started to feel itchy, unsure if there was a rash. She went home took a benadryl and things got "ok." Tuesday, symptoms were worse went to the school RN who dx'ed her with hives and told her to get unexpired benadryl which she took with improvement though symptoms persisted. She continued on Benadryl but hives continued so she was recommended to start Zyrtec 11/16/21 in addition to the Benadryl which she needed about BID. Hives continued on this regimen so she took prednisone 11/23/21: 40 mg for 5 days, 20 mg for 3 days, 10 mg for 2 day. On the 5th day of prednisone hives were "here and there, not itchy." There may have been a time (not for very long, maybe 3 days) when she was totally hive free while on the prednisone. She continues to take the Zyrtec everyday and is still getting the hives everyday though there is less of them and they are not too itchy.    Rash is always worse at night. Worse with stress.   She describes the rash as: it looks like something scratched her (sometimes she will have red welts after scratching but also will have lesions before scratching), they can be raised but since the zyrtec they are now more flat. Can get them in places with tight clothing, spots last <60 mins, no residual blistering, bruising, peeling, flaking. Sleeping through the night.
