Why do I break into hives only when I come home?
I've been breaking out into hives lately for about the past 4-5 weeks randomly, however it's ONLY when I'm at home. Lately I've noticed that as soon as I get home I break into hives usually one of 4 distinct areas - inner arm (tricep area), behind knees, upper thighs or lower back. I figure it has to be something at home since it's only when I get home from work. It's not typically any food and for the most part I'm not aware of any items i'm allergic too. No changes in detergent either, however I recently did put new satin sheets on, but I usually get itchy before I even get to my bed. Dont believe it's just dry skin either as I feel semi moisturized. Could this possibly be the new sheets STILL causing this just when I ENTER my room or perhaps the air filter in furnance or humidifer perhaps??
Thanks!
