This has been going on for the last week or so for no apparent reason. I am not particularly allergic to anything but MSG and that affects me differently.

I don't really have this problem all day unless I am standing a lot. Here is what happens:

I got to school and everything is fine. No itchy feeling no scratching.

ETA: This does not affect my arms or lower legs. Just knee caps and thigh area.
Go to work same as above. 5 hours mostly standing.
Come home change into shorts and start supper. I get a pressure almost tingly feeling and itch. The itching gets worse and then hives that burn. Put some Benadryl cream on it and it will kinda stop itching but burns. No bug bite or anything. Some times a bit of water will splash on my leg and that will kick it off.

The only other time this happens is if I am home all day and on my feet cleaning all day. This will come and go.

What the heck might be causing the itching and hives. I am not messing with chemicals.
