Hives

I have really bad hives just popped up all over the place doctor say my vitamin d is low could this be the cause of hives

I don't think hives are an indicator of low vitamint D. This time of year the tree pollen comes out, and the changes in temperature can bring on skin problems. I used to get massive big hives that appeared and disapeared all around my body. I never found out what caused them to appear sometimes. And going to the docs would just entail a trip to to the chemist to get calamine lotion. Sometimes rolling around on grass did it cutting the hedges might just getting hot and bothered seemed to. But as I've got older they have lessened to nothing. Hope this puts your mind at rest, but keep taking Vit D you do need this vitamin to keep your body fit. Dxxx

Why don't you have vitamin D level test? Vitamin D is fat soluble, so it accumulates in the body and if it's toxic in excess. Besides, vitamin D is very rarely low, because our bodies produce it all year round. Hives are allergic reaction, 90% of the times. Otherwise you would have had other symptoms, not just hives. Take desloratadine for a week, see what happens
