Hives (Urticaria)

Hives are red, raised, itchy bumps (welts) on your skin, ranging from small spots to large blotches, caused by a skin reaction.

What is it?


Urticaria, commonly referred to as hives, is a prevalent skin issue characterized by itchy, red bumps of varying sizes that can occur on any part of the body. This condition is usually an allergic reaction, triggered by a variety of factors such as food, medication, insect stings, or stress among others. The rash typically disappears within a day, but new ones may appear, giving the impression that the condition is persisting or moving around the body. Hives are considered chronic when they last for more than six weeks, and could indicate a more serious underlying health issue. 


How is it treated?

A dermatologist can provide substantial relief to patients dealing with hives. They can begin by determining the root cause and identifying the trigger of the condition, which is essential in managing and preventing future flare-ups. If the hives are indicative of a more serious disease, our team of board-certified dermatologists in Avon, Sandusky, Broadview Heights, Medina, Port Clinton, and Strongsville, Ohio can assist in detecting and treating that as well. Dermatologists can also provide relief by prescribing antihistamines, corticosteroids, or other anti-inflammatory drugs to minimize the itching and swelling. Hives can lead to discomfort and anxiety, but with the right dermatological treatment, they can be effectively managed and controlled.
