Hives and Stress

Hives usually results from an allergic process; however, the cause can also be non-allergic. Even stress can cause hives. Hives and stress have a close relationship. Emotional stress can trigger immunological changes in the mast cells, which release histamine into the skin upon being disturbed, and this may lead to hives. However, extreme stress may be responsible for chronic hives.

Hives Stress

Hives and stress or stress induced hives are caused by constant emotional stress and tension. If this is the case with you and you develop a red, itchy rash, it is time to find ways to relax and relieve tension or your skin problems may worsen.

Stress Can Cause Hives

Many people ask me if stress causes hives. The answer is not straightforward; however, stress can trigger hives in individuals who are prone to the condition.

Stress Hives Rash

Stress hives rash is usually red or pale in color and can vary greatly in size. They are itchy and painful, and must be treated properly.

Stress Hives Treatment

First, try to determine what triggers the outbreak. If it is anxiety, try to avoid tension and stress as much as possible. Once the rash appears, you can apply cool compresses, calamine lotion, or aloe vera gel on the affected area. Taking antihistamines can provide momentary relief to the patient. Drinking peppermint tea is soothing as well. However, if you are looking for reliable and permanent stress hives treatment, consider natural treatments.

Can You Get Hives from Stress?

Some people who are  prone to hives may not experience an outbreak because of stress. However, if you are prone to hives, then stress increases the chance of developing this annoying skin problem, so it is important to address the stressors in your life.
