If my dog scratches me, i break out in small red patches with hives in various spots over my body. am i allergic? never had this problem before.

Where: Do the red patches occur also at sites not touched by the dog? If so, you are likely allergic but only if these spots also itch. If not, then has this occurred more than once just to make sure that it was not a coincidence? Do note that you can become allergic to nearly anything at any time.
