Urticaria
What is Urticaria?
Urticaria, also known as hives, is a common skin condition that results in the appearance of raised, itchy, and often red or pink welts on the skin. These welts can range in size from small dots to large patches and may appear anywhere on the body. They can appear suddenly and may come and go quickly or last for several hours or days.
Urticaria is usually caused by an allergic reaction to a substance, such as certain foods, medications, insect bites, or exposure to certain environmental factors, such as cold temperatures or sunlight. It can also be triggered by stress, exercise, or other factors.
In most cases, urticaria is not a serious condition and can be treated with over-the-counter antihistamines or prescription medications. However, in some cases, it may be a sign of a more serious underlying medical condition, so it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional if you experience recurrent or persistent hives.
