Treating Hives in Thousand Oaks CA
Depending on what is triggering your hives, we may be able to help reduce the frequency of your outbreaks as well as relieve the discomfort of hives in Thousand Oaks CA.
The first thing we will do is stop the itching associated with your hives using antihistamines. Antihistamines are effective regardless of the cause of your hives, which might be allergies, infections, stress, sun exposure, or illness.

Once we have identified your allergic trigger, we can provide advice on how to avoid exposure and thereby prevent hives.
