A member asked:

My husband breaks out in itchy hives but only at night?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. John Chiu answered

Not unusual: The body's defense declines towards the night to allow one to fall asleep. Thus nearly all symptoms tend to worsen at night. Try antihistamine after dinner. If still not controlled, consult an allergist.
