What Causes Hives On Flank Area, Lower Abdomen And Lower Back?

I am a 32 year old male, 6 foot tall and weighs around 185. I started getting urticarial about 8 to 9 weeks ago. At first, it was 1 x week and now it is everyday. It appears on my flanks, lower abd, lower back and thighs. Allergies: PCN Medications: Benadryl Health History: 2000: Complete upper tooth extraction 2012: Endocarditis 2013: Foot fungus 2014: Colitis 2014: Urticaria Question is.....what is up with the daily hives? I can t tell if it is contact or if it may be a symptom for Crohns or if I have another infection or possibly something malignant. I do have a lipoma on my lower lumbar but lipoma s are benign. I don t know what to do. I do not have insurance and Medicaid has denied me 4 times. I tried to get it when I got endocarditis for follow ups with cardiologist and neurologist. Also, I was born with a congenital heart defect. Please help, Daniel

hello Daniel
I read carefully your question
Urticaria is classified according to its duration.
acute urticaria
Chronic urticaria > 6 weeks duration, with daily or episodic weals.
you mention that has urticarial problems for more than 8-9 weeks . it seems like chronic urticaria. Chronic spontaneous urticaria is mainly idiopathic (cause unknown), but thought an autoimmune cause is likely, and sometimes a helilcobacter pylori infection cause it.
chronic urticaria in most of cases is treated with oral antihistaminic for almoust 4 weeks , if it doesnt stop you should contact a doctor to evaluate the situation.

thank you using healthcaremagic.
