Answer 1

Ive been breakin gout in hives since JULY! Ive seen a ton of doctors and nurses - theyve all tol dme the same thing. ITs uticaria and it can be anything. If you look up hives or uticaria on the internet it will help. It seriously can be anything. The heat, the cold, something you eat or even just the way you feel - stressed! What has helped me drastically was taking a claritan everyday. Benedryl can leave a hangover effect that just wears you out after taking it for so long. But the claritain works a little differently and will help a lot!

But becareful...Hives that last for more then 2 MONTHS should be checked by a doctor. Especially if they feel like they are internal (like in your throat)! Take care of yourself. :O)

Answer 2

I have never had the problem with hives that you do, but my lips used to swell up so big It would block off my nose and I would have to breath out of my mouth. Spicy food was my problem.

Try making a food diary mark down everything you eat and keep track of your flare ups in it too. Whenever you have a flare up compare what you ate on your other flare up days.

You might also want to forgo using make up in the areas that you are having problems with.

Answer 3

No sure what is the reason in your case but a friend of me had same problem some years ago, one part of her lip was very puffy and inflated and it was because of stress, she was very stressful when she broke up with her bf.
