Avatar n tn Yes they appear as you said in am then go and then can come later in the day. He is not bothered really by them and I am giving antihistamines, but I don't want to do this forever and would like to find out underlying cause. I don't think it is food. I suppose it bothers me because it is a sign of allergic reaction. He doesn't have breathing difficulties but sometimes gets a runny nose. He doesn't seem to have food allergies either so I just wondered what I should do.
Avatar m tn You may want to look into Urticaria. I have Cold Urticaria, I get hives when I'm exposed to the sudden drop/change in temperature....(going from a warm environment to cold). I also break out when my cieling fan is on and it blows cool air. I went to an allergist who tested me for many things but she said I wasn't really allergic to anything other than bed bugs, mold and pollen. I thought "Who isn't", but she said most likely it's Idiopathic Cold Urticaria.
Avatar n tn Cashews and Spanish Peanuts mostly. Could they be causing me recently to be getting hives or could it be a rabbit I got recently??
Avatar f tn hello. I have been getting hives when I get hot/sweat. If I'm stuck in a warm place for awhile, i will start to get ichy and then hives will show up usually around my bra area. It is worse when I exercise, I get hives all over my body. I don't have a hard time breathing though. This started sometime this winter. I can't think of anything that I've changed. still use the same laundry soap, dish soap, shampoo, body wash, lotion, cleaning products.
Avatar m tn Hi, One possibility for your symptoms can be hives. Hives (medically known as urticaria) are red, itchy, raised areas of skin that appear in varying shapes and sizes. They have a tendency to change size rapidly and to move around, disappearing in one place and reappearing in other places, often in a matter of hours. So please get this possibility evaluated. Till then, take some antihistaminic like Benadryl and apply some calamine lotion.
Avatar f tn By chance are you under a LOT of stress in your daily life? Hives are sometime the body's way dealing with stress. They often DO happen at night and are sometimes on the warmer areas of the body, like inner thighs, waist, under arms or under breasts in women. You can treat them, but IF the cause is the stess, getting rid of it will stop the hives.

Avatar f tn Sounds like heat bumps.
Avatar m tn Hello, These red bumps that are itchy and come and go sound like hives. Hives (medically known as urticaria) are red, itchy, raised areas of skin that appear in varying shapes and sizes. They have a tendency to change size rapidly and to move around, disappearing in one place and reappearing in other places, often in a matter of hours. Wash it with fresh water and apply some calamine lotion on the bumps which helps in soothing the skin.
Avatar n tn Hello, The most likely triggers for acute urticaria(hives) are allergies to pets, horses, latex and foods, such as shellfish and nuts, bee or wasp stings, allergies to medicines, viral infections, dental and sinus infections, fungal infections, blood transfusions and vaccines. The cause of chronic urticaria is often more difficult to identify.
Avatar m tn I usually spot a couple of small bumps which then spread all over my legs and turn into hives. Around my knees the hives are clustered and raised and flat. And on my thighs my skin becomes discolored and there are white splotches everywhere with a hive in the middle. I'll usually take a benadryl and it'll go away, but I'm sick of taking it. And it's odd because the only time I start breaking out is when i wake up.
Avatar f tn During the day I occassionally have tingling on the skin on my hands normally on my thumbs and palms, but never my feet. During the evening when i sit to relax in the livingroom my hands become blood red and burn with immense heat and are very itchy. I keep still for about 20 minutes not itching it and it will eventually subside to a bearable tingling. My feet itch occassionally but not everytime, when they do there is a red rash, but not raised. Sometimes I am woke in bed with it.

293157 tn?1285873439 Hi everyone, I'm taking Gabapentin and up to 1800mg a day...I was taking 2100mg a day, but felt too tired so I lowered it to 1800mg .. I've had this rash on my neck for the past week or so.. it's spreading down my chest area and hands...parts of my face. It looks like Hives...but I'm not sure if it is. My GP is away for another week and can't see him... could you get hives from gabapentin...it's the only med that is a new med for me...
Avatar f tn The accupuncturist said they believe that hives are caused from excessive heat in your body. Accunpuncture helps to rid the body of toxins and heat. It is definitely worth a try if you are suffering. I no longer have to take prescriptions that made me sleepy. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/242629'>Could my chronic hives be related to a hormone imbalance</a>.
Avatar n tn hives are itchy irregular raise patches of redness and heat can heighten an allergic reaction if your son has been out in the heat when the rash came. it may also be heat rash, but the benedryl and bactine would do him no harm if you give them and they are not what is needed. a cold wash cloth works well on hives and heat rash.
Avatar m tn Hello, From the symptoms the possibility of exercise induced urticaria needs to be ruled out. Most symptoms can be controlled by taking antihistaminics like benadryl or Claritin or zyrtec. Slow down or stop your exercise as soon as symptoms start. You should always exercise with a partner who knows about your condition. In some people, eating certain foods before exercise may make allergic symptoms more likely to occur. Keep track of what you eat before exercising for a few weeks.
Avatar f tn Hives, unexplained weight gain, fatigue, affected menstrual cycle, ringing in the ears, heart disease, oedema (fluid retention), peripheral neuropathy, high blood pressure, urinary incontinence, charley's horse, and hallucinations are some of the many listed symptoms of hypothyroidism. Research reported in the journal Dermatology found that the frequency of thyroid antibodies is significantly higher in patients with chronic urticaria (hives) than in healthy controls.
Avatar n tn Hello, These symptoms are suggestive of hives. The most likely triggers for acute urticaria(hives) are allergies to pets, horses, latex and foods, such as shellfish and nuts, bee or wasp stings, allergies to medicines, viral infections, dental and sinus infections, fungal infections, blood transfusions and vaccines. Take some oral antihistaminics like Benadryl (cause drowsiness) or Claritin and apply calamine lotion as it helps in soothing the skin.
Avatar f tn Cold cloths on the hives (works for normal ones and especially heat ones) a cool bath or sjower may help before you get them to keep them away or even help cool you off and not get them. Drink lots of cold water. Other than that I don't know natural remedies but heat rash on childer I put cool cloths on it it helps.

Avatar n tn Hello, The symptoms are indeed suggestive of hives. Hives result from dilation of capillaries allowing fluid to leak out into the surrounding tissue, the epidermis.They are of two types:acute and chronic(when hives persist for more than 6 weeks).
Avatar f tn Hello, It can be due to cholinergic urticaria. It is a form of chronic hives that is caused by an increase in body temperature but can be idiopathic also. Take some antihistaminic like Benadryl or Claritin and apply some calamine lotion on the hives. If the symptoms persist then please get it examined from a dermatologist. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.

Avatar f tn t get out of the car, only to go in and out of the house. When I came back in, I had huge hives on my legs, tummy and neck (a new place). I took a hydroxyzine and felt better but hives still. I made an appointment with my allergy doctor and had that today. They have no idea what it is. They want to do labwork, chest xray, patch test and another skin test. Well, due to the steroids, no lab work for 2 weeks, no patch test or skin test for 4 weeks.
