What Causes Hives And Itchy Lip Lumps?

Hi, I am a 50 yr. old woman who had a partial hysterectomy approx 4 yrs. ago. I have been having a problem with a spot on my lower lip swelling. I get a tiny little raised bump, its itchy and then gets dry and peels away. This time when it happened it was 3 bumps. No discharge and others can't see it. I am a lipstick wearer and always have been but today its so bad Im gonna stop the lipstick. I had been having horrible nightsweats and flashes but it recently stopped and now I can sleep. Im wondering if this sounds hormone related. I have had all the STD stuff checked and have been in a relationship for 2 years with same guy who has no medical issues. I am wondering also if it could be an allegic reaction to tomatos since I get a break out of hives on my hands when I go in my garden. We have been eating tons of tomatos lately. Thanks Pam
