 Hives are red, itchy welts that result from an allergic reaction in the body or from built up stress

 Allergic reactions  Stress  Medicine  Insect bites/stings

 Hives usually cause itching  Burns or stings  They can appear anywhere on the body, in the face, lips, tongue, throat, and ears, etc.

 Traditional medicine -relies upon antihistamines for treating hives. These include both over-the-counter and prescription medications.  Topical soothers-Calamine lotion may provide relief from itching when applied directly to welts.  Oatmeal in bath water-This home remedy relies on the skin-soothing properties of ground oatmeal to calm inflammation and redness.  Applying a cool compress -to the area will lessen the burning and itching and take away some of the redness.  Anti-depressants-are used in cases where emotional stress is thought to be causing the hives.
