Reoccuring hives

Hello I'm a 20yr old female and ever scense I was 18 I would constantly breakout in hives mainely when I take a shower. I've changed shampoo's as well as soaps hundreds of times I've gone form expensive to all natural, now I just use a regluar shampoo and very rarely do I use a body soap. Now what hppening is I'm constantly breaking out in hives throughout the day mostly on my hands and alot on my legs, I also get the hives on my stomach, back, and face just about everywhere. I have changed many of the things I use and thought of hundreds of things that could cause it, even worse I work for a holstic doctor which helps but not for long. The only thing I can think of is stress, but why whould water inflame it or bring it about, and why during no particular time of the day? I have not been to a dermatologist because It's not realy in my budget. So please if there are any suggestions or some advice thant would be great.
Thanks, Ashley

Hi, I am new to this board. I have had hives for many years. My triggers seem to be: hot flashes (I'm only 32 but I get them all day), acidic foods, stress, when I have my period, certain spices, if I wear knee hi's I get them around the line where the knee hi ends, etc. etc.

I have tried many antihistimines. Didn't work.

I have been to 2 allergists. Nothing.

Dermatologist. Nothing. SKin Biopsy. nothing.

I have yet to find a cause or cure. My email is kiarabear2000@yahoo.com if you'd like to talk about this.

I have been researching this for years and have met many people online that haven't found a cure or cause. It's very aggravating. My legs are covered with them right now, have been since yesterday. I get giant ones, they are terribly itchy and painful.

just read through the archives. they are linked at the top right hand corner of the bulletin board.

Hives are the end result of stress. You can cure them. Read how others did it and you can do it too!

Thanks, Helper.

One would think that with so much suffering they would first go to the archives.
