My Son Has Been Experiencing Hives. He Is 12 Years

My son has been experiencing hives. He is 12 years old....we went to the ER and they prescribed Prednisone. It's seems to help over night but the hives are returning in mostly different areas the next day. I am now noticing that where he doesn't have hives on his legs appears to be purple in color. Any thoughts? Should I take him back to the ER?
