Does Your Face Hurt?

I believe I am in the middle of an outbreak of hives. I don't know that I've ever had them before; if I have, I don't remember. But my face is all red and splotchy and itchy, and I have bumps on my arms, too. I really don't know what caused it. I haven't done anything unusual in the last day or two, not that I can remember. (It started before the skunk incident last night.)

I've been reading online about hives -- causes and treatments -- and it does not seem that there's much to do about it.

Ouch. It's unattractive and uncomfortable. Not a happy way to spend a Sunday.
