A member asked:
When you get hives, will you get one little bump? or will it cover a whole area?

More than one...: Urticaria, also known as hives, is an outbreak of swollen, pale red bumps or plaques (wheals) on the skin that appear suddenly -- either as a result of the body's reaction to certain allergens, or for unknown reasons.

Could be just 1: but usually more than that. Best treatment is to figure out what you are allergic to and avoid it.
