Detailed answer

Allergies to skincare products can cause hives due to the immune system's response to specific ingredients. When the body recognizes an ingredient as harmful, it releases histamines, leading to an allergic reaction. Hives, characterized by swollen, itchy welts on the skin, can be a common manifestation of this allergic response. It is important to identify the specific ingredient causing the allergy and avoid using products containing it to prevent further reactions.
