Urticaria Treatment at Shine Dermatology

At Shine Dermatology, we offer a comprehensive and personalised approach to treating hives.

Our goal is not only to relieve symptoms but also to prevent future episodes and improve your overall quality of life.

Our Treatment Options Include:

Oral Antihistamines

First-line treatment to control itching and reduce inflammation. Effective for both acute and chronic urticaria.

Short-Term Corticosteroids

Prescribed for more severe flare-ups to provide fast relief and reduce swelling.

Biologic Therapy (e.g. Omalizumab)

Recommended for chronic urticaria that doesn't respond to standard treatment. Biologics help regulate immune system activity.

Advanced Allergy Testing

We offer skin prick testing, patch testing, and blood tests to identify food, medication, or environmental triggers.

Lifestyle and Skincare Recommendations

Gentle skincare routines, stress management techniques, and customised advice to prevent flare-ups.

Cold Compress Therapy

Non-medicated option to soothe mild hives and reduce itching and swelling at home.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can hives be caused by an allergy?

Will the hives go away on their own?

Acute hives may resolve without treatment, but chronic cases often require professional management.
