Urticaria, commonly known as hives, manifests through several key symptoms: Redness: The affected areas of the skin may appear red or pink in colour. Burning or stinging sensation: Some people with Urticaria may experience a burning or stinging sensation along with itching. Transient nature: Urticaria often comes and goes within a few hours, with individual hives typically lasting for less than 24 hours. However, new wheals may continue to appear as old ones fade and flare ups can be present for longer periods and diagnosed as chronic in nature. If you suspect you have Urticaria based on the common symptoms, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment as there are different types of Urticaria. They can help determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and provide guidance on managing and treating Urticaria effectively.
