I have large hives around my body, mainly my forearm

I keep getting them when I work, wrestle, lay down, ect. I mainly get them on my wrist's were my veins are but I do often get them in other places like my elbows-forearm, knees, bottom/top feet, sometimes shin, neck, lips, near eye brows, back, butt. But mostly they are in my forearm/fingers. What type of conditions may lead to this, I have had this for about 6 months now.

Hi, symptoms are suggestive of urticaria, secondary to exposure to allergen and mediated by IgE antibodies. Your body is known to hypersensitive to certain things.  
Stinging insects, Aeroallergens (uncommon), Foods and additives like Milk, egg, peanuts, nuts, soy, and wheat are the most common agents to cause generalized urticaria in adults.

This triggering factor should be identified and should be avoided. A skin allergy test can be useful.

Treatment includes anti histaminic and glucocorticoids against prescription. Other causes needed to be ruled out are drug reaction, Stevens-Johnson syndrome etc. If drug allergy is suspected you need to discontinue the drug and report to your doctor immediately.

I suggest you to consult a skin specialist. Take care and regards.
