Is Hives On Feet And Ankles Related To The Removal Of Appendix?
I had my appendix removed on 9/20/13. Two weeks after that i started getting hives only on my feet and ankles. Ive never had hives before in my life and never had an allergic reaction. Is this just a coincidence or could it be related to the removal of my appendix.

Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
Hives in the extremities (feet & ankles) are no way related to surgery on the appendix. Hives might be altogether due to a different cause for which a detailed clincal examination is mandatory.
I suggest you to consult a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and management.
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
