size the swellings have. becoming. in some in

There is another and less common variety.

swollen places are filled with blood.
Any suddenly developing swelling Of the skin
may be considered a form Of hive. The spots may
be whitish or pink in color. Invariably there l.

In nettlerash there are small red spots. The
skin feels as If a poisonous nettle had been
hauled across the skin. 1t burns and smarts and
itches intolerahly.
