What should i do if i have a severe hive-like itch 24/7? what could be causing it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acute Urticaria/Hive: Acute urticaria (hives) is common, affecting 20% of the population. Acute hives resolve within 6 weeks. Hives can become chronic if last more than 6 weeks. Common viral/bacterial infections can trigger an outbreak, however medications, foods, and stings can also cause acute hives but have the potential to lead to more serious complications. See Allergist if concerned. Can treat with antihistamines
