Is it possible for hives to last a few days? i'm extremely stressed.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Acute hives can last days up to 6 weeks. If hives last longer than 6 weeks it is called chronic hives. Sometimes chronic hives will last years or even decades. While hives are itchy, they are not dangerous or contagious! stress may aggravate hives....
