Hi and thank you for your question. Acute hives is an allergic reaction to a specific type of drug or food and is very treatable. Chronic hives is a more complex disorder characterized by episodes lasting for a month or more and the cause is said to be caused by histamine levels in the body.

Some home remedies for acute hives are cold compresses placed on the affected area and if the hives cover a large area then a cool bath or shower can help relieve the symptoms immensely.

Vitamin E a few times a day on the affected areas will help stop the itching and and tenderness associated with hives as well as corn starch and baking soda in a tepid bath helps with itching as well.

If your hives persist you should be seen by a medical doctor so that they can determine the cause and the best course of treatment for you.
