What are some causes of the hives?

Question

I've been getting a lot of hives lately and I want to know why, what are some of the reasons people get hives? I'm only aware of two allergies and I haven't come in contact with either in a long time. Please help

Answer 1

if you have sensitive skin, using a new soap or body wash can really irritate your skin. have you used any new beauty products lately?

Also, I thought I was only allergic to penicillin, but last week I had crayfish for the first time and got hives. So, another allergy to add to my list.

Hope I helped

Answer 2

You could have a fragrance allergy.

Have you used a new detergent/fabric softener?

Have you been using a new brand of soap/shampoo?

Have you been wearing a new purfume?

If you answer yes to any of the questions IMMEIATELY STOP USING the item and see if it goes away, if it goes away, just don;t use that product again.

Answer 3

You are about to have a challenge of finding out what else you are allergic to.  Have you tried any new foods?  Maybe one was prepared differently with a different ingredient   My daughter kept having them and we found ot she's allergic to half the stuff we used and ate.  And have you taken any new pills or drugs?  I used to use penicillin a lot as a child and when I was 21 they gave me some in the hospital and I went into anaphalactic shock. I nearly  died.  So it doesn't have to be anything new.  It can be something you have used a long time and built up an allergy to.  We keep Benadryl on hand at all times.  You need to too.

Answer 4

stress can cause them, as well as heat, cold, and unknown causes. perhaps buy some zyrtec at the drugstore or target and take some to see if it helps.
