What is Urticaria?
Hives, medically termed urticaria, are a skin condition marked by the sudden development of itchy, red, raised welts or bumps on the skin. These welts may vary in size and can appear anywhere on the body.
Urticaria occurs when histamines are released under the skin, leading to inflammation and swelling.
What is Urticaria Allergy?
Urticaria allergy is an allergic reaction that causes the skin to develop red, raised welts. This can happen due to an allergy to certain foods, medications, insect stings, or environmental factors like pollen. The immune system overreacts, triggering the release of histamines, which causes the rash.

FAQs
Urticaria disease, or chronic hives, refers to persistent or recurrent hives episodes lasting more than six weeks. While acute urticaria is typically short-lived and often triggered by allergies, chronic urticaria can have diverse underlying causes and may not always be associated with a specific trigger.
The leading cause of urticaria is the body’s immune response to specific triggers, which can vary widely. Common causes include allergic reactions, infections, stress, medications, and environmental factors.
In some instances, particularly in chronic urticaria, the precise underlying cause may remain elusive.
Chronic urticaria is defined as a condition characterised by the presence of hives for a duration exceeding six weeks.
It may recur periodically and can last months or even years. Chronic urticaria may not always have an identifiable cause; in some cases, it may be linked to autoimmune conditions or other health issues.
The best treatment for urticaria typically includes antihistamines, which help reduce itching and swelling. Corticosteroids or other medications may be prescribed to manage symptoms in more severe cases.
Identifying and avoiding triggers is also an essential part of managing the condition. It’s important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the right treatment plan based on the severity and cause of the urticaria.
The common symptoms of urticaria include:
- The appearance of red raised welts or hives on the skin.
- Intense itching or burning sensation.
- Swelling in some areas.
- Welts that may change shape or size over time.
An urticarial rash is a rash that appears when someone has urticaria. It is typically characterised by raised red or pink bumps on the skin. These bumps may appear suddenly and can be extremely itchy. The rash often disappears within hours but may recur in different body areas.
The timeline for improvement with urticaria treatment varies depending on your hives’ underlying causes and severity. For some, relief may be experienced quickly, within days or weeks. However, others may necessitate longer-term management strategies to attain the best possible results.
Side effects associated with urticaria treatment are typically mild and temporary. Certain medications may cause side effects such as drowsiness, dry mouth, or headache.
Our dermatologists will thoroughly discuss potential side effects with you and closely monitor your progress throughout treatment to ensure your comfort and well-being.
While urticaria treatment can effectively manage and reduce the frequency and severity of outbreaks, it may not always completely eliminate hives permanently.
However, with ongoing maintenance and follow-up care, many individuals can achieve long-term relief, enjoying improved skin health.
Lifestyle adjustments can significantly complement medical treatment in managing urticaria symptoms and minimising triggers. These may include avoiding known triggers such as certain foods, medications, or environmental factors, maintaining good skincare habits, and managing stress effectively.
Our dermatologists will provide personalised recommendations to complement your treatment plan and optimise your overall skin health.
