Well, okay. So the moths haven't avenged LOL It's really just hives (urticaria) that I got.

This is ridiculous. How am I supposed to manage these red bumps? Usually appearing for no reason... fading in less than a day... appearing where it wasn't minutes before. These things fade with no need for medication (usually within a few weeks) so there's really no medication for them. Also, you can't pinpoint exactly why hives break out. A lot of times it will just appear. Other times; well, there are a few factors depending on the type of hives. Acute urticaria lasts for less than six weeks and can be caused by chemical or allergic reaction by certain foods & medications, and/or sunlight exposure. While I don't think it was any foods I ate, I just recently had medications. Apparently, a drug that can cause hives include painkillers such as codeine. Specifically, the painkiller I had for my wisdom teeth extraction had codeine (I believe). There's also physical urticaria, which is direct physical stimulation of the skin. Heat, sun exposure, sweating, and exercise included. I list those because I got this the day after we went out to water front. (Also, that night, me & Jo exercised the hell out of the dances & I was sweating a lot. Not to mention, it was pretty hot in the house & I was waging war with a vacuum cleaner.) However, physical urticaria occurs right where the skin is affected, yet mine is all over the body.
As you can see, hard to pinpoint.

Hives are a response to histamine, chemical released from your blood vessels. And all those factors I mentioned will cause histamine release.

There's really no treatment so I have to wait it out. I hate thissss.
