    What are you planning on using this treatment for?

    Itchy skin (pruritus)

    Hives (urticaria)
    - Raised, red, itchy bumps (weals) on the skin that appear suddenly. They can be triggered by allergies, stress, or certain foods and usually disappear within hours or days

    Skin rash from an allergic reaction
    - A red, irritated rash that occurs after contact with something you're allergic to, such as certain foods, medications, or chemicals (like soaps or detergents)

    Swelling (angioedema)
    - Deep swelling beneath the skin, often around the eyes, lips, or throat, which can happen alongside hives and may be caused by an allergic reaction. It can sometimes feel painful or tight

    Unfortunately it is unsafe for us to offer you treatment for this condition online. We would recommend seeking urgent care from your GP, 111 or local A&E if you are experiencing these symptoms.
