Hi, Histarix is a dietary supplement and there has been no reports showing its effectiveness in urticaria or hives. I don't recommend unless it has proved benefit. Urticaria is seen 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 chigger bites, irritant dermatitis, generalized infection etc.

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