What Is Urticaria?

Urticaria, commonly called hives, is a skin reaction that appears suddenly as itchy, raised swellings on the skin. These patches can be red or skin-colored and may move from one area to another within a short time.

Urticaria can occur for a few days or continue for months. Although it may look concerning, most cases can be effectively controlled with proper diagnosis and treatment.

Symptoms of Urticaria

People with urticaria may experience:
  • Raised, itchy welts on the skin
  • Burning or stinging sensation
  • Swelling that changes size or location
  • Warmth or redness over the affected area
  • Swelling of lips, eyelids, or face (known as angioedema)
  • Flare-ups triggered by heat, stress, or pressure
These rashes usually disappear without leaving marks.

What Causes Urticaria?

Urticaria occurs when certain chemicals, mainly histamine, are released in the skin. Common triggers include:
  • Certain foods or food additives
  • Medications such as painkillers or antibiotics
  • Infections
  • Insect bites or stings
  • Physical factors like heat, cold, pressure, or exercise
  • Emotional stress
In many chronic cases, the exact trigger may not be easily identified.

Types of Urticaria

Dr. Tejansu Dalal evaluates and treats all forms of urticaria, including:
Acute Urticaria
Lasts less than six weeks
Persists for more than six weeks
Triggered by cold, heat, pressure, or sunlight
Deeper swelling affecting lips, eyes, or throat
Understanding the type helps determine the most effective treatment plan.

Urticaria (Hives) – Treatment Options Table

Treatment How It Helps
Antihistamine Medicines Main treatment that reduces itching, redness, and swelling by blocking histamine.
Higher-Dose Antihistamines Used when regular doses don’t fully control symptoms, especially in chronic urticaria.
Short-Term Anti-inflammatory Medicines Given for severe flare-ups to quickly calm intense itching and swelling.
Immune-Modulating Therapy Helps control long-lasting or frequently recurring urticaria.
Biologic Injections (Advanced Cases) Used when urticaria does not respond to standard treatment; provides long-term control.
Trigger Identification & Avoidance Prevents repeated attacks by avoiding foods, medicines, stress, or physical triggers.
Skin Care & Lifestyle Measures Avoid hot showers, scratching, tight clothes; helps reduce flare-ups.
Emergency Treatment (Rare Cases) Required if there is severe swelling of lips, face, or breathing difficulty.
Urticaria can be uncomfortable and unpredictable, but it is highly treatable with expert care.
