Hives causes
Hives or Urticaria is red, itchy raised areas on the skin, produced to the release of chemical called histamine when a person comes in contact with an allergen. Hives appear in the forms of patches and rings which can vary from millimeters to more than a few inches in diameter. Hives are seen to be more common in men that women possibly because male skin tends to dry easily.
As mentioned, hives are caused due to the release of histamine that is released from the ‘mast cells’ which are found in the skin. Histamine makes fluid leak from locally found blood vessels leading to the swelling in the skin.
Allergy:
Eggs, fish, berries, eggs and certain medications have been identified for having caused hives. Animal dander can also trigger an allergic reaction and so can certain types of clothes and jewelry which rubs on the skin and causes inflammation.
Expose to Extreme temperatures
Hot weather and extreme cold weather can also trigger Hives. Excessive sweating due to heat exacerbates hives.
Genes
Hereditary though rare, is also a cause for the appearance of Urticaria.
By using an antihistamine, taking precautionary measures and using a proven natural remedy like OxyHives, you can get considerable relief from Hives.
