About Hives

Hives, medically known as urticaria, is not a procedure but a common skin condition characterized by the sudden appearance of itchy, red, or skin-colored welts (wheals) that can vary in size and shape. An Internal Medicine specialist manages hives by conducting a thorough diagnostic evaluation to identify potential triggers, which can include allergies, infections, medications, or underlying systemic conditions. Treatment focuses on symptom relief with antihistamines and, in chronic or severe cases, may involve advanced medications to control the immune system. The goal is to provide immediate comfort, prevent recurrence, and address any root cause to ensure long-term patient well-being.
