Book a Consultation Urticaria
Urticaria, commonly known as hives, is an allergic reaction characterised by pale red, itchy bumps or rashes on the skin, often accompanied by a burning sensation. These rashes are classified by how long they last and by what brings them on.
What to look for
The following point to an allergic reaction, cold-induced urticaria or another skin-related response:
- Red, raised lesions on the skin, the classic sign of hives
- Sudden red raised patches on exposure to cold air
- Severe itching
- Swelling of the face, lips or tongue
- A pricking, needle-like sensation over the red areas
- Bumps on and under the skin
- Dizziness
Swelling of the face, lips or tongue can be a serious allergic reaction (angioedema) and needs urgent medical attention, not an appointment.
Symptoms
- Itching
- Redness
- Swelling under the skin (angioedema)
- Itchy bumps or weals on the skin
- Hives brought on by pressure or scratching (dermographism)
Causes and triggers
- An allergic reaction
- Pressure or scratching on the skin
- Exposure to cold air
