Can micro needling cause hives?

Question

I have been fighting hives for 10 weeks, started 36 hours after micro-needling. Cannot find anything to cure them. Desperate. I was not quite over a cold sore when it was done. Could she have inadvertently touched the sore and caused the herpes virus to go into my body and react?

Kimberly Finder, MD · Answer

Hives are a very bothersome and perplexing problem. There are so many possible triggers to hives that I've always said that one has to be a Sherlock Holmes to figure it out. More times than not the trigger for hives is never found. I suggest you find a dermatologist who is willing to go through the process of trying to find a trigger, and who can help you symptomatically in the meantime.
