What causes hives besides allergies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several causes: The most common causes of hives are allergy, autoimmunity, and physical stimuli. Foods or drugs can cause hives - peanut and shellfish are common food allergens, and Ibuprofen and penicillin are common drug allergens. Some hives are due to physical stimuli such as cold, heat, pressure or stroking of the skin.
