How do they occur? Clusters of hives may appear as a reaction to an allergen such as food, medicine, or an insect bite or sting. Hives may also occur as a reaction to infection or emotional stress. Histamine, a chemical your body makes, is released in response to the irritant that causes the hives to form.
This is what causes the hives to appear on your skin, however, more specifically, viral hives are generally caused by a viral infection such as the flu, hepatitis, herpes, croup and many other viral infections. Your immune system is attempting to eradicate these viruses by releasing the histamine that causes your viral hives.
