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

  • Autoimmune disorders

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

  • Stress, hormonal changes, or certain medical conditions

  • In some cases, the cause of hives may be unknown or “idiopathic”.
