A member asked:

What can be done to cure hives, or become immune to it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Chronic hives: Chronic hives are often idiopathic meaning we don't know why they occur. They can occur for weeks or months or longer. There is often no cure but can be managed with medication. See an allergist for evaluation.
