Permanent Hive Patch anyone? Please help me!

First I’m happy to say that my hives are not as widespread or itchy. I don’t know if it’s the increase in exercise out in the fresh air and sunshine, the addition of 900 mg of gabapentin to my diet (thanks silvertones) or maybe they’ve just run their course… almost. What’s happening now is a few places that had big hive-like areas have “shrunk” to small reddish pimple-like things that sometimes itch and sometimes don’t (again, the baking soda paste/rosewater helps and sometimes aloe spray helps.
And sometimes they just stop itching on their own, usually when I’m more relaxed.) I have very few conventional hives now but these pimples have been with me for about a week and they’re always in the same place… on the underside of my arms… there are 4 of them. Anyone experience this?

Yes I have these on my legs mostly but there chigger bites. Nasty little buggers ;D
You’ll find yourself working up the gabapentin to a higher level. I leveled off at 2400mg. I also weigh 200#

Hey guys, I am desperately seeking answers! For the last couple of months I have been getting this patch on my arm. When I’m not hot or breaking out in hives it is normal skin color, maybe a little bumpy (didn’t used to be, but its gotten bigger and slightly textured/dry), but when I’m about to break out in hives, this turns red and looks like a bunch of hives. I didn’t know if anyone else had this experience but its kind of worrying me since it is getting bigger. I did have ringworm awhile back but this isn’t like ringworm at all since it is almost unnoticeable to the naked eye if I’m not hot. It is kind of like a hive warning. If it turned red I know I am going to get hives. Any ideas? Thank you for any answers!
