Hives: In general, you can develop allergies to different things at any time of your life. Make sure it is actually hives or other types of skin rashes and there is a relationship between using that particular lotion and the development of hives right after using it. It can be just coincident that you get hives unrelated to using lotion.

I normally only get hives/dermatographia in hot water/temperatures. But, lately have been getting daily "attacks"+raised bumps for no reason. I take Zyrtec+Flonase daily. Can anything else OTC help w/ itching? Should I see my derm or PCP for this?
