What Is Urticaria?
Urticaria (Hives) is a skin condition characterized by red, itchy welts or bumps on the skin that appear suddenly. These can vary in size and may merge to form larger patches. In most cases, hives fade within a few hours, but for some, they persist or recur for weeks or months — a condition known as Chronic Urticaria.
It can appear anywhere on the body — face, neck, arms, legs, or even the lips and eyelids — and may be accompanied by burning, swelling, or discomfort.
Causes of Urticaria
- Allergic reactions to food, medication, or insect bites
- Exposure to heat, cold, or sunlight
- Stress or emotional triggers
- Infections (bacterial or viral)
- Certain chemicals, perfumes, or detergents
- Autoimmune reactions, where the body mistakenly attacks its own tissues
Identifying the exact cause can be tricky, which is why expert evaluation by a qualified dermatologist like Dr. Alok Mehta is essential for effective management.
Symptoms of Urticaria
- Red or pink raised bumps on the skin
- Intense itching or burning sensation
- Swelling (angioedema) around the eyes, lips, or hands
- Flare-ups triggered by heat, pressure, or exercise
- Sudden appearance and disappearance of rashes
If these symptoms persist for more than six weeks, you may have Chronic Urticaria, which requires medical attention.
