Hives Urticaria

Hives are also known as urticaria and are characterised by red, itchy, raised wheals. Hives can be triggered by many different things including food allergies, medications, stress, infection, exercise and even heat. The most common cause of hives is an allergic reaction to medications or foods that you have eaten before.

Urticaria and Hives Treatment

It is important to avoid known triggers to prevent further flare ups. Antihistamines, oral medicines such as steroids, and sometimes injections such as omalizumab (Xolair) can be used to keep urticaria under control.
