What Causes Hives?
I've been getting outbreaks of hives every couple of days, or couple of days in a row usually in afternoon around 5-6PM is when I start to notice the itching and subsequent welts on thighs, hips and under arms. I don't know what is causing this since they come and go so frequently.
