I have hives! :(

I have been so stressed lately and I'm breaking out in hives(very slowly, but they're there.). They're just on my hands as far as I know and they hurt!!!!! There are three on one finger under the skin, one under the skin on another finger and two on my other hand on each side. I looked up pics and they look like those pictures. But I have a couple more every day. I just found another!!

How do I get rid of them?! Any way at all?

This is NOT my arm, but they look like this, except not as close together.

bendadryl should help...When I got them years ago, I had to get a shot though.  If they don't get better you will have to see a dr.  Hope you feel better soon!

Zantac 300 mg daily for 3-5 days. Zyrtec 10 mg daily for 3-5 days. And singulair 10mg if you can get it daily for 5 days. Benadryl every 4-6 hours as needed. Hydrocortisone cream twice a day.

I had them a few years ago and they got so big I had to go on prednisone. Never found out what caused them. Benedryl usually works on the small ones. Hydrocortisone cream does too!

My friend at work has been having them. She takes Benadryl at night and wakes up with no hives. Sometimes she might get a few during the day, but not nearly as bad as they were.

Thank you! I'll try that. This is the first time I've had them since I was a baby!
