	Answer by Dr Rowena S, MD (doctor) on Wed 28, Jan 2009 06:38pm: Hives occur when certain cells release histamine and other chemicals into your bloodstream and skin. This may be brought about by allergic reactions to medications or foods, direct contact with pollen, animal dander, latex and insect stings. Sometimes, environmental factors, emotional stress and exercise play a role. Antihistamine may help with the itching. However, if this persists, I would recommend that you have this evaluated further by your doctor for proper management.
