Desperate for mast cell flare help

Is there anyone who knows about how to get a mast cell flare to calm down? Ive had itchy skin since I was a teenager but half a cetirizine a day was enough to keep it in check. But the other day I tried out a condenser dryer in the my bedroom for the first time and after sleeping in my bedroom that night Ive just been SO itchy.

I happened to have a doctor appt already booked and she gave me some supposedly strong antihistamine (180mg fexofenadine) but it hasnt done much. I have big itchy welts around joints or anywhere with pressure. Is there anything else that would help it chill out?? If I went to an urgent care clinic is there anything else they could even give me?
