Could be: And could be not, depends on how long you've had the hives too, if more than 6 weeks, so it has become chronic, and needs to be evaluated, most of the time there is no clear reason and hep b might just be a bystander, if less than 6 weeks it might go away soon, you might want to see a dermatologist/ allergist, check aaaai.org or acaai.org for an allergist in your area, good luck
