What Causes Flare Ups On Scalp, Neck, Torso When Suffering From Hives?

I have had hives for about 6 months and I am on quite a few medications but I am still getting flare ups on my scalp .neck and torso . I have had blood work but nothing shows up. About 6 months ago, I had an injection of Uflexah in my knee and I have had the hives ever since. I am seeing an allergist but she has not yet determined what might be the cause.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

Your symptoms suggests me that you are having some allergic reaction, the allergen causing these symptoms should be identified.

To identify the allergen causing hives all over the body, you need to undergo skin prick test for the allergens.you should be tested for most prevalent allergens like dust, mite,pollen,food and medicines.

This will identify the allergen causing all these symptoms and you can avoid that allergen.For your present symptoms you can take drug having combination of antihistamine and mast cell stabilizer.
Thank you.
