Stress related hives

I noticed that when I'm stressed out I'll sometimes get a single hive on my face. It's like a bug bite, swollen, red and super itchy. Then when I calm down it will go away. Used to happen to me getting ready for school dances! Lol not the same as yours definitely not as severe but similar.

Skin: (symptoms associated with the skin)

• Burning skin sensations, skin sensitivity

• Numbness tingling, numbness and tingling
• Red skin, looks like your skin is red or turning red for no reason
• Skin problems, infections, rashes

Hibee what have you been taking for yours? I have had worse anxiety and did not have this! I guess I'm getting older and my system is changing! Is your caused by anxiety? I took Cimzia 3 1/2 weeks ago so we don't think that could cause it. I started Paxil a couple weeks ago but I've taken that before and I take Vicodin daily but I've been on that for a few years so I don't know! I do know the night it started me and hubby got in a bad argument and I havee been stressed and down

Hi Barbz

I have been taking antihistamines which have been helping with the itching and the hives seem to come and go I am at a loss to what is causing them but I do think that because I am anxious about it it's making them worse I am also stating to feel really depressed. I went to the doctor and they said it can be very hard to identify the cause and they did some blood tests which came back all clear apart from a slightly low WBC so I have to re test in 4 weeks. I hope you find the cause for your soon and that the hives go keep us posted.

Hibee
