Psycho-emotional consequences
Chronic hives lower self-esteem, increase anxiety, and disrupt sleep; one in three women develop depression. Psychotherapy, support groups, and keeping an emotional journal can be helpful.

Stigmatization and solidarity of women
Rashes aren’t contagious and aren’t your fault. Sharing experiences in online communities, dermatology groups, and psychosomatic groups gives you strength and a sense of not being alone.

Final words: care, attention and acceptance
Hives are the language of the skin. Listen to them with kindness and method.
Practice for today:
Take a warm shower and apply a hypoallergenic moisturizer.
Take 10 deep breaths in and out.
Write in your journal: how did you feel, what thoughts did you have when you were itching?
Hug yourself – literally. It soothes the nervous system.
