I have hives on your neck forearms stomach scalp and back really itchy for over a week now what is it?

Hives, also known as urticaria, are raised, itchy skin welts that can appear anywhere on the body. They are often caused by an allergic reaction to something you have eaten, touched, or inhaled. They can also be caused by certain medications, medical conditions, or stress. If you have hives that have lasted for more than a week, it is important to see a doctor to get a diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Here are some tips that may help you relieve your symptoms:

1. Avoid scratching the hives. Scratching can make them worse.

2. Apply a cold compress to the hives to help reduce itching.

3. Take an oral antihistamine, such as Benadryl, to help relieve itching.

4. Wear loose, comfortable clothing made of natural fibers, such as cotton.

5. Avoid things that may trigger your hives, such as certain foods, medications, or environmental allergens.
