Oatmeal baths are good for hives. can also try a box of baking soda in the bath water.

Ok, my answer is a two-part one so be ready.
1) Typically, when I get Hives a cold bath or shower does the trick. Also, (and this works for me so this is up to you) a Hydro-Cortisone cream might do the trick but do this as a LAST RESORT.
2) Find out what the cause of the hives may be. For instance, a change in laundry methods (such as new detergent or softener) may cause it. Allergies like Pet Dander and other allergens may also cause it. Furthermore if you find the source of the problem it is best to just cut it out or change it. For instance, Ivory Soap causes hives on my skin so in order to avoid it I don’t use that soap anymore. That may seem like common-sense but you would be surprised how long it took to come to the conclusion that it was the soap.
Also, consult your doctor. That is the sure-fire way of doing it. They are experts and can more than likely solve this problem.
