You are suffering from what Dermatologist call urticaria. Common causes are food allergy, infection or drugs taken for some condition. It presents with itching resulting in formation of red rashes which we call hives or wheals. Although in most cases cause remains unknown in spite of a thorough search. It can be treated with medicines so that you do not get any new hives. The treatment should be prolonged until it resolves which usually takes 1 to 6 months. Please call me or contact me through online consult option for further details and treatment..

Hives are commonly seen in a condition known urticaria which is an allergic response of the skin . it can have numerous causes. take tab levociz 5 mg twice a day for the time being to temporarily improve the itching. and apply calosoft lotion to easy the itching. However this is not the definitive treatment you will have to visit a qualified dermatologist to get the condition properly assessed. Hope this was helpful.
