Surprising Causes Of Hives Revealed — What May Be Triggering Your Skin Reaction

• Essential oils (like lavender, tea tree), botanical extracts, or “clean” beauty products often contain hidden allergens.
• Even laundry detergents, fabric softeners, or dryer sheets can leave residues that irritate sensitive skin.
  

  💡 Fix: Switch to fragrance-free, hypoallergenic products (look for “for sensitive skin” labels).

🦠 5. Viral or Bacterial Infections

• Colds, strep throat, UTIs, hepatitis, or even dental infections can trigger hives as your immune system activates.
• Common in children—but adults get it too.
  

  💡 Fix: Hives usually resolve once the infection clears. Rest, hydrate, and treat the underlying cause.
