Me, it started when I was a teenager, really weird. The hives were

incredible, my knees, hands, feet, not my face though. When I would warm up,

the hives went away. I eventually came down with Reynaud's and the Reynaud's

is not as bad as it used to be. I never get hives anymore. I believe the

name of it is coldacera or something like that. Any help with the name,

anyone? Thanks, Terry

Hi a.

I have a couple recommendations for you. I use Denorex once a week and it

helps. Only use it once a week or so though. It's available at Target,

Walmart, etc. I also started using shampoo with Emu oil in it. I like it.

It seems to retain the moisture in my scalp better than other shampoos. You

may also want to try the Nizoral brand shampoo (which you'll find on the

net).
