About Hives

Hives are usually caused by an immune reaction to allergens such as foods, medications, insect bites, or environmental factors. They appear as raised, red, itchy patches that can vary in size and shape. While acute hives may resolve within a few hours or days, chronic hives can persist for several weeks or longer.

Treatment helps relieve itching, reduce inflammation, and prevent recurrence. Consulting a prescriber ensures safe and effective management based on your medical history and trigger factors.
