At Apex Clinic, Nagpur, Dr. Neha Rajesh Rathi specializes in diagnosing and treating Urticaria Treatment. Through advanced therapies, trigger identification, and personalized care plans, patients can achieve long-term relief from hives and allergic skin reactions.
Urticaria, commonly known as hives, is a skin condition that causes red, itchy welts. These welts may appear suddenly and can last from a few hours to several weeks. While often not life-threatening, urticaria can significantly affect your daily life, sleep, and comfort.
Understanding the underlying cause is essential for effective treatment. Common triggers include:
Allergic reactions: Foods (nuts, seafood), medications, insect bites
Environmental triggers: Pollen, dust, pet dander
Stress and emotional factors
Chronic urticaria: Persistent hives without a known cause
Infections or underlying medical conditions
Patients may notice:
Red or skin-colored welts
Intense itching or burning sensation
Swelling around eyes, lips, hands, or feet
Hives appearing in clusters and spreading quickly
