Dear Erica – the nodular character of this and the redness sort of lead to the possibility of erythema nodosum (literally nodules with redness). This often accompanies auto-immune disorders, especially varieties of inflammatory colitis. It can be itchy. Just a thought. Sometimes looking at various ways to expand the paradigm is a helpful strategy, if it can give some insight into the underlying disease process (in this case, as Gail said, too much histamine, possibly from autoimmunity; in some cases chronic hives correspond instead to thyroid issues, in which case, the halogens are good remedies to consider).
In any case, you might want to look at either Sulphur or Hepar-sulph as possible remedies for this, depending on modalities and physical generals.
Good luck!!! Rosemary

Just some basics that I learnt about hives - it's an indication of having too much histamine around (a bit obvious, but that's where I started when I had a hive like reaction happening) - too much histame equates with being undermethylated, too little with being overmethylated. So if you need to go to nutritional support - Bvits, Vit C, Grapeseed Extract, Pycnogenol,Vit E.
Sea salt and water are the body's basic antihistamines - I learnt this bit from books purchased through www.watercure.com and rehydration would have to be the most basic sort of health intervention - although like nutritonal supplementation it can be palliative rather than going back to the suscebtibility source/cause.
The Iodines and shellfish sort of remedies come to mind and maybe histamine itself as a palliative
