If I am the slightest bit nervous (especially when I am the center of attention) or hot, I get red blotches/hives all over my chest (and sometimes neck or face) and Im dreading this happening on my wedding day! With all of the ppl Ill be interfacing with and the warm weather, it will really stink if you can see that in pictures. Sometimes I hate wearing v-necks bc it happens so often. But other than trying to relax I dont think theres anything I can do?!
Anyone else? or advice?

Re: Am i the only one ....?
OMG I have the same problem. I actualy had a complete medical workup this sumer because I developed severe urticaria (very big hives) all over my body. At first I thought it was a vasculitis or autoimmune response but it is actually just chronic urticaria exacerbated by stress. I get them anytime I am stressed (which is very frequent) I am so afraid for the big day. I figured that I will definately go to the spa the day before and have one drink the day of to keep myself relax. My physician suggested taking an antihistamine, but i really don't want to be slepy on the big day either!

Re: Am i the only one ....?
I have the same problem and I thought I was the only one because I've never met anyone else with the same problem. I get them mostly on my chest but sometimes on my face, arms,legs and back as well. Nothing makes them go away. They just go away on their own after a few minutes. I know I'm going to get them on the day of the wedding because I get them every time I try on the dress. If anyone knows what to do to get rid of them please share!

Me too!!!!!
its like the stress, excitment, and heat mix and POOF my whole chest is covered in bright red blotches that fade after like 10-15 mins but they can come tight back easily. i dont get it! it just shows you how powerful stress can be/ the mind-body connection. i just wish for that whole day i had a miracle and no hives!!! i wear scarfs if im wearing vneck, i know thats going pretty far. im surprised with how many other ppl get this!! i hope none of us have to deal with it day-of! what a blessing that would be
