Suggest Remedy For Itchy Red Welts On Skin Caused By Hives
My daughter was just diagnosed with hives by our family practitioner. She started itching yesterday, then red welts appeared on her head, neck, joints and lip area. She also has joint pain. Can hives do this or should we follow up with an internist.

Hives or urticaria can develop in any part of the body. It is sometimes also associated with joint pains. You have to for any difficulty in breathing or change of voice along with lip swelling. If any of these happen immediately go to your nearest praciting doctor. Hives is a type of reaction in response to something in the environment that the body is allergic to. Kindly also keep a dairy and note events leading to the development of hives. This will give you a better idea about what to avoid. Hope this answers your query. Thanks
