Can lupus cause hives. I hope up Saturday morning with a very intense hot flash and broke out in hives. I took Benadryl and went to the hospital to get checked but by the time I was seen they had disappeared. Woke up the following morning and the hives have worsened and have clumped together making large hives on my legs stomach and face. I am a lupus patient and have a prescription for prednisone when needed. Could the prednisone help. I also forgot to mention that I applied cortisone cream which worked at first but now doesn t seem to helping at all
Howell come to ChatDoctorLet me tell you that, the lupus itself causes the symptoms which is very much similar to the hives and this response to antihistamine and steroid too and this may disappear even without the medicine, but this is nothing to worry, hope this information helps, take care.
