Suggest Treatment For Persistent Hives On Ankles And Legs

My husband gets hives at unpredictable times. He works outside (he s a 71 year old builder.) He get breaks out with hives sometimes when he works with cement, and sometimes the dust will cause the hives to start itching. He applies anti-itch cream, and usually they calm down and disappear. But sometimes they wake him up in the night. They are usually on his ankles and legs.
