what causes hives in a 12 year old boy and it is not food allergies? . my 12 year old son has been getting hives. they are red swollen spots that itch. the claritin works so much better but he will be ok for a few days/ weeks and then starts again. the last bout we had was his face swelled. lips eyes cheeks. he looked aweful. we now have an epi pen just in case it gets severe. one doctor stated that it could be caused by stress? we do see flare ups when he is concerned about someone or something. . could this be hormones? pre teen?
