A member asked:
Can hives be a signal of something serious? i took an allergy test (results came back with no known allergies) and have been experiencing hives for over two weeks?

Hives: Recurrent hives don't necessarily indicate a serious illness. The cause is often elusive,but think about possible triggers. In the meantime I found that hydroxyzine is the most effective medication in cases like yours, but an allergist is best to evaluate and advise you.
