Hives, medically known as urticaria, are raised, red, itchy welts that suddenly appear on the skin. They may look like mosquito bites, vary in size, and often come and go within hours or days. While hives are usually temporary, in some cases they can become chronic and persistent, lasting for weeks or months.
Hives occur when the body releases histamine, a chemical that triggers itching and swelling. Common triggers include:
Allergies to foods, medications, or insect bites
Infections (viral, bacterial, or fungal)
Stress or emotional factors
Heat, cold, or sun exposure
Contact with irritants like pollen, pet dander, or chemicals
✔ Itchy, red, or skin-colored welts
✔ Swelling of lips, eyelids, or face (angioedema)
✔ Rash that changes shape or location rapidly
⚠️ Severe swelling with breathing difficulty is a medical emergency—seek immediate care.
