What is Urticaria?
Urticaria is a skin condition marked by the sudden appearance of red, raised, itchy welts or bumps (hives) on the skin. These may vary in size and can last from a few hours to several weeks or even months, depending on whether the condition is acute or chronic.

- Medications (antibiotics, painkillers)
- Insect bites or stings
- Stress and anxiety
- Exposure to cold, heat, sunlight, or water
- Infections (viral or bacterial)
- Autoimmune disorders
- Contact with irritants like pollen, latex, or certain fabrics

Prevention & Management
Identify and Avoid Triggers
Keep track of foods, medications, or environmental factors that cause allergic skin reactions or hives.
Wear Loose, Soft Clothing
Choose breathable fabrics to reduce irritation and prevent friction on sensitive or itchy skin areas.
Avoid Scratching the Skin
Scratching worsens redness and swelling—apply cool compresses or soothing lotions for relief instead.
Use Gentle Skincare Products
Avoid harsh soaps, fragrances, or alcohol-based products that may aggravate irritation and itching.
Manage Stress Levels
Practice meditation, yoga, or deep breathing to minimize stress-related flare-ups of urticaria symptoms.
Follow a Balanced Diet
Eat light, nutritious meals and avoid common allergens such as shellfish, nuts, or processed foods.
Stay Cool and Comfortable
Excess heat or sweating can worsen itching—keep your surroundings cool and wear light cotton clothing.
Avoid Self-Medication
Unsupervised use of creams or tablets can worsen hives—always consult your doctor before starting any remedy.
Consult a Dermatologist
Seek expert evaluation for recurrent urticaria to identify causes and receive long-term, tailored care.
