Hello dear,
I understand your concern. The red, itchy hives are due to allergy.You can apply calamine lotion on the skin. You may take tab. Cetrizine 10mg 1tablet at night to reduce the itching. Try to find out the reason for allergy. Allergy may be due to some foods(some get allergy after eating meat, eggs,wine etc).If you are allergic to some medicines or food items please avoid consuming it.Hope i answered your question.
