Hives can be a symptoms of lupus or can be the result of other things such as Allergies. Over the counter topical steroid creams may help. Over the counter oral antihistamines may help. If the hives persist, seek medical attention.

There are rashes associated with lupus but they do not itch for the most part. The rashes that are symptoms of lupus are not called hives. The two may be confused though. What may look like hives from an allergic reaction to a food or irritant may be a rash from your own immune system reacting incorrectly.

Are you born with lupus?

Researchers are still discovering genetic issues in lupus. You may be born with the genetic make up that predisposes you to develop lupus later in life. But lupus may or may not develop. In cases of genetically identical twins, both develop lupus in only about 30% of the cases. A baby born to a mother who has lupus might have neonatal lupus which usually clears on its own in six months or so. In some cases the infant might have congenital heart block, but not necessarily lupus.

What causes hives?

Hives is an allergic reaction. The physical manifestation of "hives," also called urticaria is caused by localized capillary leak, usually caused by histamine release from eosinophils and mast cells as a result of an allergic reaction. There are other causes, however. Some people have a genetic predisposition to developing hives, some medications can cause a histamine release that is not related to an allergic reaction that can cause an urticarial rash. Hives can be caused by many sources. Acute hives are not long lasting, and typically can clear up on their own or be alleviated with the use of anti-histamines. In this case, most causes might include food allergies, allergic reactions to medication, dyes, stress, gluten intolerance, or general intolerance to something in your diet. Chronic urticaria (the given name for long lasting hives) is usually harder to deduce. Heat, physical stimulus, water, sometimes parasites, infections can all be linked as known causes of long-term hives.
