Hon hugs, Tara has just started out breaking out in hives too shes nearly 3. I cant believe it that your dr says to use that cream. my dr told me just to use antihystamine (zyrtec) and then QV bath oil to help with hives and then when they go I just put QV cream on her excema. I have allergies, and there were two ways i went about it, the first way I eliminated everything from my diet and started back on rice and vegetables, slowly adding other ingredients. So I could find out what I was allergic too, the simpliest way to to get a referal to an allergy specialist, they put about 40 little *****s on your arm and then put little stuff of everything on the arm and then measure the hives that come up to see how allergic you are, then they give you cortisone to get rid of the hives. Hope this helps hon xxx
