Hi, I broke out in hives about 5-6 weeks into taking a birth control earlier this year. They appeared all over my legs. I was convinced ut was the birth control but my gp wasn't and told me to keep taking it. I was desperate for a cure of peri symptoms so I did keep taking it until I couldnt take the discomfort any longer.
I stopped the pill I think 3 months ago now and my legs are returning to normal although I am getting little hard whitespots where the hives have healed over. I've never experienced that either. Thankfully, the hives have stopped. I'm left confused as to what to try now for my peri symptoms but I hope it helps you in some way. My gp suggested new washing powder, allergies etc etc but nothing helped. I hope you find a solution.
