10 Causes Of Hives
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Cause #5: Physical Stimulation
Some people who suffer from chronic hives may notice that there are certain physical stimuli in their environment that trigger a reaction. Things like temperature or heavy pressure can cause hives to break out on the skin.
The most commonly affected areas for this type of reaction are the lower body, including the legs, feet, posterior, and the hands. It can occur when people stand or walk for extended periods of time or if they are wearing clothes that are too tight for their skin. Sweating, heavy exercise, and being in a hot or humid environment can also trigger hives.
