Hi,

This is unlikely related to tobacco or liver disease. This indicates recurring urticaria. Kindly see an internal medicine specialist for evaluation. If preliminary workup is normal, we need not worry. All that is needed will be a short course of antihistamines, sometimes with steroids during the episodes. Meanwhile, try to find out a trigger like a particular food or drug that might be the reason. Tobacco chewing can cause oral cancer and better to discontinue anyhow.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
