I'm having these hives on my skin for the past three days. They seem to go away when I take Allegra, but come back the next day. I'm wondering how long it might take for them to fully go away. I remember having this same issue last summer. What could be causing this? I'm a 35-year-old male, by the way. Any advice would be great.

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
