Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What would cause hives to only appear on the joints? (ankles, knees, wrists, and knuckles) My son just turned 8 and woke up with them a couple of days ago. I took him to our family dr. and she even said is was a weird presentation of them, but could give me know further info........
hi,sorry to hear about your son,hives over joints could be a autoimmune problem like lupus.consult a rheumatologist and do a blood work up to rule out any immune disorder.check he had any respiratory viral infection prior 2 wks.sometimes postviral manifestations can present like the above hives.have a good day
