Urticaria, also known as hives, is a skin condition. It is a skin disease that is generally seen as raised, itchy and red spots caused by reactions on the skin due to conditions that vary from person to person.
Reasons:
The rash and the associated blisters are caused by the release of histamine and other chemicals into the bloodstream by certain cells. Healthcare professionals often cannot identify the cause of chronic urticaria or why acute urticaria sometimes becomes chronic.
However, some of the triggering causes of rash on the skin are as follows:
- pain relievers
- Alcohol use
- Insects or parasites
- Various types of food
- Prolonged pressure on the skin, like a rubber band
- scratching
- Exercise
- Infection
- Sunlight
- Cold
- Stress
- high temperature
Treatment:
It is possible to find an effective treatment for urticaria that lasts for months in some cases and years in others. If there are symptoms of hives, a doctor should be consulted to determine the prescription drugs and determine the most appropriate treatment combination for the person.
