Breaking out in hives for no reason

I have been breaking out in hives. They don't happen everyday and I never know when they are going to happen. Normally it's on my face, back, arms, or my upper leg. It Itches when they start to come and it's been doing this for a while now and I have no idea what it is so I figured I would finally ask a doctor.

I've been getting hives for a few weeks now. Only on my arms. I thought it was my body wash. It's not that because I use the same one all the time. I've even changed my detergent and I don't use any lotions with high smell to it. Its only on my arms and I'm not really sure why or how I'm still getting them.
