Baby Health Info: Hives

According to babycenter.com.uk, Hives can be referred to the big rashes which is swallen areas on the skin that are ithcy. In my daughter case, the rashes were appeared between her abdomen to the leg. The rashes appeared on any part of her body dan started spreading all over her body. We went to see a doctor, and doctor gave us calamine cream (which is to prevent the itchyness and uncomfortable body). So, we asked several friends, they called in malay 'Gegata' i.e from geligata insect. In medication term called urticaria.

In the articles ; hive rash(gegata) can be seen in a several characteristics. There are small raises areas ( 1-2cm) of the skin which develop suddenly, very itchy,they can appear in red or white spot.

We were studied what was the cause of the hive( gegata). In the articles, there are two causes of hive(gegata) :

1. Food allergic( which can be referred to seafood allergic)
2. Enviromental allergens (which can be referred to air pollution or chemical reaction)

So, in my daughter's case, the cause of hive was enviromental allergen, a day before it was happens, I did some gardening at the backyard and took down the banana, she followed me. she might be get insect bite which caused the hives.

Now, she seems better, the red rashes disappeared from time to time.Hopefully, this is first and last time she suffered from this hive(gegata)
