Review title is Helps calm down hives [SEP] My sister has gotten a really bad case of the hives lately. Collidal silver ppm solution usually helps calm the hives down. We thought that the cream would be a better than the solution since it is about to actually sit on the skin long enough to be absorbed. It relieves the itching. However, this product is pretty expensive when there are over the counter colloidal oatmeal lotions that work just as well at the drug stores.
