| A friend of mine just recently broke out with hives all over their body. Anyone know a specialist she can go see to find out what it is that is making her get hives? |

| Friend, eh? Riiight. I'd just walk into a 피부과 and show them my rash and then nod as the doctor tells me a bunch of stuff, and just wait till i get a prescription. I'm not saying that's good advice, but that's actually what I'd do. |

| Take Benadryl, or a good, strong antihistamine. |

She's already gotten treatment for it. She's wants to go to a specialist to see if they can figure out why it is she is getting the hives. She's only been in Korea for 3 weeks so she doesn't know anything. I was hoping someone on here would know a specialist that spoke English.
She told me she hasn't eaten anything new and hasn't done anything different in the past 2 weeks to explain the hives outbreak. |

Where has she come from?
Is she finding it hotter? If her skin hasn't adjusted to the heat and humidity yet she may have prickly heat.
get some prickly heat powder (can you get it here?) to sort it out, |

| She's from Texas, so I don't think heat is the issue. |

Gotta be the kimchi, then. Poor kid, being allergic to the nectar of the gods that is Kimchi. |

She's gotten treatment from a dermatologist? What's more specialized than that? All I can do is post recommendations that people have made in the past:

If you want a good dermatologist you may wish to contact Dr. Hea-shin Chung. I know her personally and I had her give a number of lectures to my students on skin care when I was teaching at Sookmyung Women's University. She will not rip you off and she speaks excellent English. A couple of my friends have been to her and they are very happy with the results. Her clinic is near Ehwa Women's University. You can contact Chungdam Leejiham Skin Clinic at 02-296-3600 or e-mail your questions to her at [email protected]. She writes articles for the Korea Herald every Friday on skin care. I hope this will help you.
Best of luck, Ian.

Why not just come right out and say it..."I've got hives."
I have this friend...whatever. You have a friend with hives so you consult the internet. Right. |
