What is urticaria (hives)?

Urticaria, commonly known as hives, is a skin condition characterized by the appearance of raised, swollen, red, or pale bumps on the skin, often accompanied by sensations of burning and itching.

The emergence of hives is typically triggered by the release of histamine, a crucial component of the body’s immune response.

Potential triggers for hives encompass allergic reactions, certain food additives, insect stings, specific medications, and exposure to sunlight.

 

What are the signs of hives?

Hives can be triggered by factors such as heat, cold, exercise, or stress. Common symptoms of hives encompass:

• Itching
• Raised, red, or skin-colored welts on various parts of the body
• Swelling of the lips, eyelids, and/or throat

If you experience severe hives causing considerable distress or persisting for multiple days, it is advisable to consult with a doctor.

 

How can I manage hives?

Commonly, hives are treated with a prescription for antihistamines. In certain situations, a doctor may recommend an oral steroid medication.
