| Yes seasonal allergies can definitely cause hives. I know people who get hives just from fesh cut grass. So you could have touched or breathed something that your body didn't like!
Could it have been a bug bite?
Fabric softener can do it too. You can also develope allergies to things over time that you were never allergic too before.
Definitely take benedryl, and call your doctor immediately if your throat feels tight or you have any trouble breathing. Otherwise benedryl should do the trick.
If it is really uncomfortable, you can take a bath in oatmeal. Or baking soda. You can also make a paste out of baking soda and water and that helps cool the itch! |
