What Causes Hives In The Neck Radiating Through Shoulder And Stomach Area?
I woke up with a rash at 4:30am today. Hives all over my legs. Just a few hives on my crouch, stomach, chin, neck, & ears. My face was also puffy but no hives. The rash has gotten better everywhere but my legs. I can breath fine. Do I need to see a dr?

Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of hives in the neck radiating through shoulder and stomach area which are body's response to the trigger factor which could be due to excessive heat, cold, environmental change, insect bite , pollen and some plants, pressure and sun exposure. Need not to worry. Stay in cool environment. The most important thing is to find the trigger factor. I would suggest you to give cold compresses to hives several times a day to prevent from swelling and itching and take over the counter antihistamine drug like benadryl. If symptoms still persist then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment. Doctor may prescribe other steroid cream, anti inflammatory drug or drugs that can suppress immune system. Doctor may perform skin test and challenge to find out the trigger factor.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
