Should I see a doctor?

Yes: urticaria, especially with swelling of the face or lips or difficulty breathing, is a medical emergency. TCM never intervenes in an emergency situation.

Why does it itch so much?

Itching is the signature of Wind in TCM: an agitation at the surface, at the frontier of the skin.

Is it linked to stress?

Stress is a recognised aggravating factor. In TCM, it corresponds to Liver pressure seeking an outlet towards the skin.
