Hygiene problem?: Is your bed clean? Are the sheets washed regularly? How old is your mattress? Have you looked for insects? You could also have an allergy to dust mite which like to live in mattress, pillows, blankets, especially if older/not cleaned recently.

I have been taking antihistamines for my hives (entire body), and they are working. But now I developed a small area of skin that's itchy and dry, and it has gotten bigger every day because I scratch it in sleep. Can this be caused by antihistamines?
