Can stress cause hives?

Some hives can be caused by stress. Stress can do many things to a body. Using a cream won't always work. I can tell you what I do. This works most of the time. Take a hot bath with oatmeal. I know that may sound gross but it really is soothing. Take a good book with you to read or if you don't like to read light some candles and have some soft music playing while you bathe. Stay in this bath as long as you can. I have found that when I am stressed out and feeling hives coming on...I grab the oatmeal and shut out the world...lol. Hope this helps you. And I will pray for your mother's health to return!

Maybe there is a little link between stress and hives, but after all it's not the main reason. Too much stress may give rise to immunity decrease, but the basic reason is the intrusion of some virus,some people's skin is allergic,maybe mosquito bite, maybe eat some spicy food, such as seafood or shrimp, etc... The best way is to see a doctor.

yes stress can cause you to get hives i get them all the time when i am stressed and it drives me crazy because i don't like it and creams really don't work i use benadryal but it makes you really tired from taking it other than that can you take a bath in baking soda or oatmeal they both will help at least they did for me and my son.
