Answer 1

It possibly could not be something you are using (soap, make up, etc) rather something you are eating or drinking or something completely different that you are using.

Also sometimes allergy reactions will occur to something you have used forever because 1) your body chemistry has changed or it is reacting differently to what you are using 2) What you are using has changed.

Here's a few examples:

A) My friend had used a particular deodorant for years, but one day she broke out...the deodorant formula had been changed & she had no idea, until she called the company.

B) My mother always ate a banana every day for the potassium, one day her throat swelled shut...the banana had been sprayed with a pesticide, it was the pesticide & not the banana.

C) The water plant that provides water to the office where I work, changed their additives & amounts due to recent local flooding...several people in our community had allergy reactions.

D) Out of the clear blue my co-worker began breaking out on her face & the inside of her arms...we finally figured out she was having an allergy reaction to the ink print of our new company newsletter!

Best Wishes :-)

Answer 2

it could be an allergic reaction to a certain type of food that you are eating. they can cause you to break out into hives. try to think back at what you have eaten right before you broke out. have you eaten anything new lately?..

Answer 3

It could be that you are allergic to the sun! do you have a rash like or are they welts? if they are welts it's most likely you are allergic to the sun, I am allergic to the sun that is why I am telling you, the doc says there is nothing they can do for me. Try to cover up when you go out wear a hat or use an umbrella.

Answer 4

It's possible you've eaten something or been bitten by a bug that you're allergic to. If it keeps happening, I would suggest going to the doctor to be evaluated for allergies, because you could go into anaphylactic shock and die. :)

Answer 5

believe it or not change your pillowcase, even if you take a shower every night and wash your hair everynight, dirt from your face and hair get on your pillowcase every day and night, change your pillowcase and i bet your hives will go away. im pretty sure im right because they hives only appear late at night,
