Blochy skin: It is very common for blotchy skin to come on in high stress or nervous situations. If they are not red, raised and intensely itchy then it is not hives or urticaria.

Stress Blotches: Stress urticaria cause blotches with bumps that look like mosquito bites. Others have increased blood vessel activity, and blotches on the face or neck, caused by stress hormones. Histamine release is the likely source for urticaria, which often causes itching. Reducing stress, how you react to stress, will make a difference.
