You've either brushed up against something that you're allergic to or you've eaten something. What did you eat in the last 4 hours before the outbreak? You'r doctor doesn't know what's causing them?

Try calomine lotion. You can get get calomine lotion with antihistamine. Or try a bath with an oatmeal sponge. Take a cup of oatmeal - not the instant kind - put that in an old clean nylon sock. Use that in the bath & sponge the liquid over the affected areas. The oatmeal is very soothing as well it will help to draw out the toxins.

Wow Wildchild said exactly what I was going to but probably much more eloquently :)

Siren - consider everything you've been in contact with since this started - your dryer sheets, laundry soap, body soaps and lotions, makeups, perfumes, clothing, jewelry, any foods, drinks, heck even things like a new brush, shampoo, conditioner, nail polish, purse, etc. I get hives from wool, and one baby I know gets hives from dryer sheets.
