I had a few down my thighs and leg. I asked my doctor if this was something I need to be concerned about and she said no. However, she recommended putting some hydrocortisone on some areas that are itchy. Mine tend to look more of a rash if that makes sense. I am observing it but it's actually listed as one of its side effects. I also got them while taking spiro.

Vitamin D deficiency can cause hives as well. My endo checks for it as apparently lots of people are deficient, in Sydney of all places (lack of sun).

Thanks, ya I stopped taking it for now and they all are gone, I might try taking a smaller dose and see if my body might adjust easier. The Dr had said before that I can't even go on Spiro my blood pressure is to low, I'm hoping to start E soon hopefully without any side effects

It may be a reaction to an additive in the pill.
