What is Urticaria?
Urticaria, widely recognized as hives, is a multifaceted and often perplexing skin condition that manifests as the abrupt and unpredictable emergence of red, itchy and raised welts on the skin. These welts can display considerable variability in both size and shape and have a tendency to appear and vanish within the span of just a few hours. Urticaria, in addition to the physical discomfort it brings, can be emotionally distressing, owing to the incessant itching and the visible nature of the welts, which can lead to feelings of self-consciousness and embarrassment.

Urticaria happens due to the excessive release of histamines into skin as a result of the overactivity of immune system. This leads to formation of pink, red itchy and raised welts (swelling like bumps) on the skin. This looks very similar to an allergic reaction. They leave no trace and can last from few minutes to few hours also.
Our mast cells that are present under the skin lining, eyes, and lungs are designed to kill worms, parasites, etc. They contain histamines which get released into the skin when any trigger factors come into the picture and cause itching, redness, swelling, and hives. Hives are very common all over the body including arms, neck, and legs. They range in size from a few millimeters in diameter to several centimeters. They can be of various shapes as well.
Its most common trigger factors include:
- Stress
- Change in environment or temperature.
- Insect bites.
- Infections including viral, bacterial and fungal
- Allergies from pollens or animal dander
- Autoimmune diseases
- Hormonal changes
- Contact allergies can result in localized hives
1. Physical Hives: They happen due to changes in climatic conditions such as sun, heat, and cold. They can also trigger sure to exercise or pressure. Symptoms start showing up within a few hours of exposure to the trigger factor.
2. Aquagenic Hives: These happen when the skin comes in contact with water regardless of the temperature of the water.
3. Cholinergic Hives: When activities like sweating or exercise result in sudden temperature increment of the core body it can result in Cholinergic Urticaria.
4. Pressure Hives: When tight clothes or gripping tools apply pressure to the skin, the result is pressure hives
5. Solar Hives: An allergy to sunlight leads to hive formation in this case.
6. Cold Hives: Exposure to cold weather or cold water results in this
7. Vibration Hives: This is triggered upon exposure to vibration
8. Autoimmune Hives: In this case, antibodies are working against the patient’s own skin cells resulting in this.
Two major types of Urticaria are:
- 1. Acute Hives: These triggers are due to food or drug allergies, viral infections, and rarely due to insect stings. They usually last for less than 1 -2 months and can occur suddenly
- 2. Chronic Hives: These occur due to physical triggers like sunlight, heat, or pressure and in certain cases due to autoimmune conditions. They last longer than 1-2 months and are generally autoimmune in nature.
Signs of Urticaria
- Raised, red welts: Urticaria presents as red, swollen welts with well-defined edges. These welts can vary in size and shape and are often surrounded by unaffected skin.
- Itching and burning: Urticaria is accompanied by intense itching and a burning sensation, leading to discomfort and irritation.
- Variable size and shape: The welts can appear anywhere on the body and may change in size and shape, often merging to create larger areas of swelling.
- Swelling can happen leading to puffiness
- Hives blanch- the center of hives (raised welts) becomes pale when pressed.
- Also can appear as painful swelling on lips or eyes.
- Rapid onset and resolution: Urticaria typically appears suddenly and can disappear within hours, although new welts may continue to develop.
