What Causes Hives in Adults-The Immune System: What we do know is that hives in adults has a great deal to do with the immune system. Your immune system can be weakened by years of break outs or flare-ups due to disorders related to thyroid disease and even lupus.
Hives, also known as urticaria, are itchy, raised welts that are found on the skin. They are usually red, pink, or flesh-colored, and sometimes sting or hurt. In most cases, hives are caused by an allergic reaction to a medication or food or a reaction to an irritant. In many cases, hives are an acute (temporary) problem that may be alleviated with allergy medications. Most rashes go away on their own.
