A member asked:
Skin gets red easily after a scratch, no inflammation. recently got off a med that gave me hives ( yesterday so med is still in system), is this why?

Very much possible: red skin after a scratch could be a sign that the medicine that gave you hives has some antibodies that are still active, that would wane with time, just note that medicine and write its name down to give to your doctor in the next visit, and avoid taking that medicines or the like again, ask your doctor about the precautions
