6. Lip, Mouth, and Skin Swelling

Hives cause inflammation in the skin, making it swollen and hot to the touch. Around 40% of people with hives also experience another type of inflammation that affects the mucous membranes of their lips, mouths, eyelids, and other regions of their bodies.

This swelling is called angioedema and is typically painful rather than just itchy. Most cases of angioedema last for two to three days.
