Hi,
Hives are red, itchy welts or swellings on the skin that often come in clusters. In doctor speak, hives are known as "urticaria."
Hives are often caused by a hypersensitivity to:



•Foods (commonly eggs, shellfish, nuts, berries, dyes, or other additives)
•Drugs (any drug can touch off an allergic reaction, although allergies to penicillin, sulfa, and aspirin are especially common)
•Pollens and plants (nettles, poison ivy, poison oak, and so on)
•Animal fur
•Insect bites or stings
•Exposure to heat, cold, or sunshine
In young children, a viral infection like a cold may trigger a bout of hives. In adults viral infections like Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) ,,Cytomegalovirus (CMV),Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) can cause urticaria.
