A doctor has provided 1 answer
See Allergist: There are a number of potential causes of hives (urticaria) which include: viral infections, parasitic infections, IgE-mediated allergic reactions like bee stings, medication allergy, latex allergy, food allergy, transfusion reactions, and contact reactions. If you are concerned about recurrent/persistent hives I would see Allergist to determine what could be triggering your response.
