Hi,

No single cause for ordinary hives. A breakout can occur for many reasons. But fully understanding the risk factors, if any, is vital for any skin condition. Drugs,heat, food or stress may aggravate the hives. If your having cardiac problem taking anti-platelet drugs need to consult your doctor to change to alternate medication.

Aspirin may also induce hives. Treated with anti-histamins and moisturizer cream with steroids may useful. Please consult your dermatologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
