I have been having a break out of hives since July of this year. This sometimes happens around the genital area, arms and upper extremities. Lately I have notice that my upper lip also gets swollen. I have been checking what I eat but I have not been able to figure out the cause yet. I did got to my general doctor and he told me to make an appointment with my GYN. He gave me a pill because he said I had a little infection. That did not work, so he prescribe me a vaginal medication because I was complaining of an itch. I notice that I had hive also in my private parts. This does not happen every day but at lest 3 to 4 times a week.
