When hives don’t go away after 6+ weeks, the triggers aren’t always what you’d expect. ⁠ ⁠ Beyond food or medication allergies, chronic hives can sometimes be linked to:⁠ ⁠ ✨ Autoimmune conditions (like lupus)⁠ ✨ Heat or exercise (aka cholinergic urticaria)⁠ ✨ Rarely: water, sunlight, or even vibrations ⁠ ⁠ Sometimes, we never find a clear cause, but knowing the possibilities helps connect the dots. If you’re struggling with ongoing hives, check in with a dermatologist to get the right plan. #geetayadavmd
