A member asked:

Wake up in hives frequently. anything touching skin with slight pressure (watch, socks, underwear elastic) has a clearly pronounced swelled up line regardless of what material/product is made of. lips swell very large at times too. most unusual?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Often the cause of your symptoms, hives, angioedema & dermatographism, is elusive. Can you think of any triggers such as foods,medications, recent viral infections,etc that could be causing your body to release histamine & certain other chemicals which cause the skin to swell& itch? Your skin is so reactive that allergy skin tests aren't helpful but see allergist anyway Antihistamines may help.
