The reason I ask is due to the fact that I've got keratosis pilaris over my chest and arms. I was wondering if this is considered a hive or if it is a sign that i am eating something that i am allergic/sensitive too.

Yeah it could be. My mom had those on her arm, and she got an allergen test, she is highly sensitive to eggs, and as soon as she cut those out the bumps went away.

It's not hives, it's simply what it is: keratosis pilaris. Hives are not the same.

Foods can cause it though.
