Hives.: This sounds like hives or urticaria. This can occur due to newer medications, contact to something you are hypersensitive to or undetermined causes. Avoid Benadryl (diphenhydramine) cream and try instead oral Benadryl (diphenhydramine) at night or during the daytime hours, use non-sedating zyrtec. If this is not effective, see your dermatologist.
