Hives,white Spots On Neck And Chin,red Itchy Rash On Face.

I broke out on my neck in HIves 6 weeks ago. They went away but then came back about 1 week later. I put calydril on them and took Benedryl . No they have turned into some dime size whie spots on neck and under chin . The sides of my face have a faint red rash that still is itchy and somewhat hot?? I have not changed meds, lotions, soap, food, ect. I am 52 years of age... Very disturbing??
