Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe itchy hives and redness on the skin which seems to be due to environment , heat , cold, pressure and sun exposure. It is the body's response to the trigger factor. Need not to worry. The most important thing is to find the trigger factor. Stop using any cosmetics or beauty products. I would suggest you to give cold compresses to hives several times a day to prevent from swelling and itching and take over the counter antihistamine drug like benadryl. If symptoms still persists the consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may perform skin test and challenge to find out the trigger factor . Doctor may prescribe other steroid cream, anti inflammatory drug or drugs that can suppress immune system. Stay in cool environment .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
