Hives is what it looks like to me, too. It is an allergic reaction to something. This being a wether, it could be something he ate. Has he been treated with any antibiotic or vaccinated in last couple of months? As long as a month after last dose of antibiotic the animal can have an allergic reaction. Same in people, too.
A doe in milk will have this reaction to her own milk if allowed to be overbagged. The pressure causes milk to be leaked back into doe's bloodstream and allergic reaction results. You hear about it more often than I wish in dairy show cattle and goats. They can fall over dead from anaphylactic shock, and do!!
