You are probably suffering from what Dermatologist call urticaria. Common causes are food allergy infection or drugs. Although, in most cases cause remains unknown in spite of a thorough search. It can be symptomatically treated so that you do not get any new hives and the treatment should be prolonged until it resolves which usually takes 3 to 6 months. In some patients it can take upto one year. Please consult me in private for further details or visit a nearby Dermatologist
