What Causes Hives On The Body?

I had one round of bendamustine and broke out in hives. We switched to rituxion and I,m still getting hives. I had weakly treatments and am now going to get it every eight weeks. I am five weeks out from the last chemo and still breaking out in hives. The doctor thought it was the chemo, my daughter thinks it is my nerves. What do you think?

Hello,

As a first line management, you can consider antihistamines like pheniramine for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
