A member asked:
I've developed some sort of hives/rash on the back side of my arms and it itches! i'm 50 years old. what is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Urticaria: Depends on whether it is acute (less than 6 weeks) or chronic (more than 6 weeks). If acute, it will resolve on its own. Chronic hives are usually autoimmune or idiopathic (fancy word for "no known cause").
