How Can Hives Be Effectively Relieved?

Hello! I have been breaking out in hives last night and throughout the day today wherever I touch my skin. I think I know what the cause is, so I don t have a question about that. I DO have a question about how to relieve the hives! I have tried remedies and lotions and Benadryl and they just aren t working. What can I take to make the itchy rashes and hives go away?
