I've been getting hives on my arms & legs for a few days now. it comes and goes. could there be an underlying problem? i don't seem to have allergies

Probably: There is always an underlying problem which however is often difficult to detect. If the hives have been present for just a few days, I'd suspect a viral infection as the cause. If the problem gets worse or persists >6 weeks, see allergist.
