Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As you suddenly developed the symptoms of allergic reactions like itching all over the body following some bite, it may be allergic reaction to that.
As you developed the hives immediately after that and reduced after the anti histamine drug, it may be a allergy to aquatics.
If the symptoms are coming down nothing to worry, if the symptoms are increasing you have to consult to confirm whether you are having allergic reaction are generalized eczema.
Thank you.
