Real Patient Stories: Living With Chronic Hives | The Beauty Authority

What happens when hives keep coming back and you can’t figure out what’s causing them? In this episode of The Beauty Authority, NewBeauty Director of Aesthetic Content Tatiana Bido talks with patient Kassie about her experience living with chronic hives. What started as recurring breakouts in college eventually became severe enough to send her to the hospital and left her anxious about working out, eating certain foods and even leaving home alone. She shares the things she tried on her own, why keeping a detailed symptom log helped and what changed once she found the right doctor and treatment plan. Then, allergist-immunologist Dr. Timothy Craig explains what chronic spontaneous urticaria actually is, where treatment typically starts and the newer options available for patients who are still struggling to get their symptoms under control.
