Can you help me get rid of these hives that have spread all over my body? Every time I scratch them, dark spots appear on my skin. What should I do, and is there a way to prevent these spots?

You can take an antihistamine medication such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply a soothing calamine lotion on the affected areas to help relieve itching and reduce inflammation. It is important to avoid scratching the hives to prevent further dark spots from forming. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
