Urticaria

Urticaria

Urticaria is the medical name for hives. Hives are red, itchy, welts that appear on the skin. They are an allergic reaction that appears on the skin, but it can also appear on the mucous membrane such as inside the mouth or the airway.

If you experience tingling lips or mouth alongside a skin rash, this could be a symptom of hives. It can be very serious, and you should seek medical attention immediately, as the airway could be affected, and you may have difficulty breathing within minutes.

Common trigger for an allergic reaction are shellfish, nuts, eggs, berries, chocolate, food additives, aspartame, aspirin, ibuprofen and maxproxen, insect bits and sting, medications such as codeine, penicillin and other antibiotics, pollen, stress, weather and temperature.

Most of the time, hives can be treated with a cold compress to relieve the itching and over the counter antihistamines, either in tablet or cream form.

Triggers can be hard to pinpoint, especially if they are dietary, it is recommended to keep a food journal to help you discover what you are allergic to.

Chronic hives - when the hives last longer than six weeks, will require a check up to ensure they are not caused by an underlying problem.
