This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Give more symptoms please, there are not enough here for a prescription.
Is this an acute or a chronic problem?
What caused the hives?
What makes the skin worse?
What makes the skin better?
Are you having any other symptoms alongside the skin ones, if so what are they?

As a chronic problem a much more complete case would need to be taken.
Your hives is obviously just part of a deeper problem, which will be connected to your various allergies, rhinitis, sinusitis etc.
There are a variety of questionaires floating around on this website which you can use to try describe your case in detail.
I do not use a standard questionaire and simply ask a patient to describe each complaint in detail, paying attention to
1. WHAT does it feel like (pain, sensation)
2. WHERE does it happen (location)
3. HOW does it happen (appearance, what makes it worse, what makes it better)
4. WHEN does it happen (triggers, times of the day, causes)
5. WHY (when did the complaint start, what was happening when it first started)
Things that can be useful for homoeopaths are also the mental and emotional state of the patient. It is often useful to look at different aspects of a person's life like sleep, physical energy, sensitivity to the weather and the evironment, sexual energy and function, appetite, thirst.
The most important thing is to be very descriptive -single word answers are not very useful to us.

Describe being emotional and sensitve more.
What sort of problems affect you the most?
Desribe more on being hot-tempered.
Describe more on 'mind always thinking'.
Describe how the scratching becomes embarassing.
Can you give some more details about your general health:-
What foods do you crave, what foods do you refuse to eat, what foods are you sensitive to?
What problems do you get with your sleep if any?
Are you sensitive to the weather in any way?
Does anything else in the environment affect you strongly?
Do you have any repeating dreams, anything that often appears in your dreams?
