What are hives?
Hives are itchy red bumps on the surface of the skin that usually develops due to an allergic reaction to any food or medicine. Also known as urticaria, they are characterized by pink or flesh-colored bumps. They sting and hurt sometimes.
There are several reasons why hives occur. They can either be due to something one ingested or due to stress, like in the case of Adah. Sometimes wearing tight clothes, doing heavy exercises, prolonged illnesses and infections can also trigger hives on the skin. Some people develop hives due to excessive exposure to cold or hot temperatures.

Immediately after you notice the growth on your skin, visit a doctor. Meanwhile, you should not irritate the area by scratching and rubbing it, avoid using hot water on that area as it might cause it to spread more. Take a cool water bath preferably with oatmeal or baking soda.
