Phyllis:
Some people get hives after hot showers or exercise. The only prevention is to use cooler water or to take an antihistamine (chlortrimeton, Claritin, etc.) before the shower. I cannot think of any reason this would only happen at school. YThere is such a thing as hives from water, but this occurs in pools and lakes, and is very rare, and in any case wouild always happen, not just in one location.
Best.
