Hives: This could be a form of pressure urticaria (hives caused by pressure). Try taking long-acting non-sedating antihistamine like zyrtec or allegra once a day and see if symptoms subside.

Ive been getting for almost two years now, random red bumps on all different parts of my body. The bump can appear on my leg, torso, arm, etc. It is not painful or itchy, it is also not raised or hard. I get one every few weeks. It heals on its own?
