I think it can, I got hives on my face when I attempted to quit, they lasted like 8 hours, but they weren't the bumped up kind, they were more like red blotches. I am allergic to lots of stuff so I assumed it had something to do with my body's lack of nicotine was making it freak out or something, since I have been a smoker for so many years. If they get bad you should go to the emergency room. I just gave up and started smoking again. I am soooo weak. Don't be weak like me. I know that the first week is the worst because your body is adjusting.....but I couldn't make it. I really hope you do!!! Please give me hope.

If you have reached this page because you are experiencing hives or a rash, please note that it is common. You have not been able to adapt to life on life s terms because you have always gone to a cigarette for relief. You will experience hives if you become nervous or agitated. Take an antihistamine at night, this should help. Symptoms may last up to a month. The hives will most likely last for 7-10 days but the rash will most likely stick around for a bit. This is because you are also developing capillaries that carry blood to your you skin! This is awesome! You are no longer depriving oxygen from yourself. Stick in their and remember that it was a cigarette that got you here in the first place so why start the process all over again by giving in.

No hives. But you may being having some nerve reaction to the lack of nicotine and that is why you skin feels creepy-crawly.
1 more day. They say the worst is over in 72 hours. You can do it!!!

depends on how long you have been smoking and how much. the body can become so used to a level of nicotine, that the withdrawal of the substance can cause many varied reactions from the body. Or you are substituting your craving for nicotine with a food or other substance and you may be having an anaphylactic reaction to your substitution choice for nicotine attacks.

Heyy. What's up? My name's Rachel, let me tell you a brief story about myself which I believe may be of some Help to you...
I am a lung cancer Survivor. I remember when I was diagnosed back in 2012, and they told me I had to quit otherwise I would not make it another 2 years. I told them, "If I'm going to die, I'd like to die Happy with a cigarette in my mouth". Stupid yes, but it's how I felt. I was stubborn, and did not believe that it could happen to me. I am only 32 years old, been smoking since I was 16... but the idea of Death at age 32 feels very foreign, almost surreal. However, when I began to notice a constant shortness of breath, and even coughing up blood- I decided something had to be done. I tried really hard to quit a couple of times, but could never resist the urges and temptation. Anyone who has ever tried quitting cold turkey, or by using one of those worthless patches/gums, will know what I'm talking about.
I went and saw a specialist, a physician who is reputed to be very successful in helping people quit. Among other practical advise, he referred me to a World-class Vapor E-Cig @ https://tryvaporcigs.im .. It is an electronic cigarette that heats "liquid nicotine" into a Safe water vapor which you inhale. No toxic smoke. I was told by my physician that this is something the tobacco industry does not want us to know about. It smells Clean, leaving no odor... and gives that relaxing "nicotine fix" we get from the regular, mundane cigarette. Being odorless, it can be smoked anywhere- even indoors. I have social anxiety, so a problem I do have with it is people always approaching me; telling me how cool it looks and asking a million questions when I'm seen Vaping in malls or restaurants. But yeah, my condition seems to be getting much better since I quit "smoking". I believe they still send out a completely Free Trial kit, only asking that you cover their cost of shipping.
Anyways, Take care! I hope I was of some help.. <3

Are you sure its only Nicotine you are withdrawing from?
Have you tried the Gum or patches. They are very helpful. So you can w/d gradually over several weeks.
The gum helped me the most. Its been 10 years since I last smoked.
Good Luck

you can have all kinds of **** happen to you when you stop. i recently stopped here myself, been five weeks now and i must say, it's not easy at all, it even felt like it was getting worse instead of easier, broke down in sweats, nerve twitches at times, you can have a bad cold soon, some get real emotional. but what ever it will do to you, DO NOT GIVE UP , you can do it, if i can after 25 years of smoking, hell, you can do it too. so good luck, take a nice shower, put some lotion on your body, make love,eat some cake and enjoy your smoke free stank free live LOL
good luck
