I am currently taking zyrtec, singulair, acyclovir 800mg and diavan hct12.5 and recently developed small hives on one leg from ankle to knee. Lyme Test (Western block) came back negative.
Can any specific drug cause urticaria?

Hello. Hives all over on the stomach, face, etc and I would say get in and see someone because that sounds like an allergy. If it shows up elsewhere you will need to have it checked out. Medication allergies are evenly spread on both sides of chest, back, face. Not one area.
If it has a bullseye look where there are light and dark,rings, see the doc right away as that is Lymes disease and an antibiotic is needed. Obviously you can get that at any time so past tests don't count. And you don't test positive right away during the rash phase, generally.
However since this is in a specific location it is probably a contact allergy. In other words you have something on your skin. Poison ivy or poison oak are contact allergies. So are various plants, creams, meds used on pets. Long list of things.

As an allergy sufferer, I tend to agree. It could be a food, dye, preservative or soap, clothing sofenter or about anything. See your allergy doc or a dermatologist. Anyone with rhinitis usually has other allergies they aren't aware of... Mary
