A member asked:

Can inhaling an allergen (pollen/dust) cause hives like symptoms on the skin (like on arms, legs, waist, neck)?

Possibly: But most anything you are inhaling also comes in direct contact with your skin and can cause hives that way as well.

Yes: If you are allergic to the allergen, a skin manifestation in the form of hives is entirely possible.

Yes: A message is received by cells in the skin that release histamine. You can be helped with an antihstamine.
