Hello. Thank you for your question.What you are describing is very typical of hives. once they appear, they can migrate from one part of the body to another, as they have with you. In some cases they can continue like this for 1-2 weeks. Some physicians recommend a one week course of antihistamine, like Claritin or Zyrtec, in order to stop the progression. I recommend consulting with your doctor about this.
