You have hives: This condition is called chronic urticaria- it is fairly common. Under stress your body releases histamine (and other inflammatory chemicals). You may also notice something similar if you get in the shower or scratch your skin. You MAY get some relief from this by taking a long acting antihistamine daily (Allegra/Claritin/Zyrtec) https://www.aafa.org/display.cfm?id=9&sub=23&cont=328
