Urticaria

Why do you have urticia ?

Urticaria, commonly known as hives, is a skin condition that results in raised, red, itchy welts on the skin. 

Some common causes of urticaria include:

  • Allergies: Urticaria can be triggered by an allergic reaction to certain foods, medications, insect bites, or pollen.
  • Infections: Some viral or bacterial infections can cause urticaria, such as the common cold, strep throat, or hepatitis B.
  • Stress: Emotional stress can trigger urticaria in some people.
  • Exposure to Heat or Cold: Exposure to extreme temperatures, such as cold weather or a hot shower, can cause urticaria in some people.
  • Pressure: Some people may develop urticaria in response to pressure on the skin, such as from tight clothing or prolonged sitting or standing.
  • Autoimmune Disorders: Some autoimmune disorders, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, can cause urticaria.
What can you do about it ?

There are several derma-based treatments available for urticaria, a skin condition that causes raised, red, itchy welts on the skin. Treatment options vary depending on the severity of the condition, the underlying cause, and the individual’s response to treatment.

  • Antihistamines: These medications are typically the first-line treatment for urticaria.
  • Corticosteroids: These medications are prescribed to reduce inflammation and itching associated with urticaria. 
  • Immunosuppressants: These medications work by suppressing the immune system and may be prescribed for chronic or severe cases of urticaria.
  • Anti-inflammatory creams or ointments: These topical medications may be prescribed to reduce inflammation and relieve itching associated with urticaria.
  • Phototherapy: This involves exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light and can be an effective treatment for some types of urticaria.
