HIVES?!? What's going on?!
Question: HIVES?!? What's going on?
Okay, here's the story, for a couple of months I've been getting these, well things. They're little areas where my skin is raised, they aren't red. They happen when I get hit or scratched. They happened when I got itchy. I've noticed that they happen more when I'm tired. They happen most on my thighs, forearms, and cheeks. When they're as a result of getting hit or scratched, the don't itch afterwards and they go away after about 5-10 minutes. Do I have a skin condition? Is there some kind of lotion that can stop these before they start? Thank you!

This is going to be a job for your doctor to investigate, because skin conditions can have many causes, most of which usually need treatment.
You may well have an allergy, or could be getting irritations through stress, or be having some reaction due to an underlying cause. It does sound like some form of urticaria ("nettle-rash"), but why you are getting it is something you really should go to see your doctor about. No doubt it can be easily remedied, perhaps even with just piriton or something similar.
relax it's just nerves.
