There are a number of things that could be causing this. I would recommend that you see an allergist for a definitive answer. To begin with, go over your cosmetic and cleansing regime. Have you changed (1) your soap/cleanser, (2) any lotion you use, (3) your laundry detergent, or (4) make-up if you wear any? If you have, I would stop the new product immediately and use no cosmetic products until the hives are gone. I would also recommend switching to Aveno soap/cleanser for sensitive skin. If you haven't had any changes in your cosmetic products or cleansers, pollen allergies can cause hives. Usually you have to be very allergic to the pollen in question, but it does happen. If you see a good allergist, they will know this but a doctor unfamiliar with allergies may not - I have run into this issue with my son.
