Is it okay that i go to the doctor over hives?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: While hives may not be dangerous or contagious, they can affect quality of life. Hive treatment first means identifying the trigger then treating preferably without steroids. Allergists and dermatologists typically have the most experience in treating hives and can provide a strategy specifically for you.
