What Causes Chronic Hives On The Body After Receiving Flu And Pneumonia Shots?
Last Jan/Feb I had chronic hives which lasted about six weeks. I received flu and pneumonia shots in Oct. Could this have been the cause? About a weeks ago it started again. First appearing only on my right calf then boom, pretty much everywhere on my torso from my neck to the tops of my feet. Could the steroids the doctor gave me in Feb. be the cause of the recent recurrence?
