Thought i was fighting bed bugs. after removing, washing, heat drying, freezing, spaying, & fruitless traps i'm still getting welts. are these hives?!

Possibly so. : "Hives" are also known as urticaria which are varied sized, raised areas of skin with or without redness. It is your immune system reacting to some internal or external stimulus.
