Hives
Hives (urticaria) are itchy, raised welts that can appear anywhere on the body, causing discomfort and distress. They can be triggered by a range of factors, including:
Allergic reactions to foods, medications, or insect bites
Infections such as viral, bacterial, or fungal

Physical stimuli like cold, heat, sun exposure, pressure, or friction
