Urticaria as a Skin Disorder – An Overview
Urticaria, commonly known as hives, is a skin disorder that causes red, itchy, raised welts on the skin. These welts may appear suddenly, vary in size, and move from one area of the body to another. Urticaria can be acute, lasting for hours or days, or chronic, persisting for weeks or months. Triggers may include allergies, infections, stress, or environmental factors. While not dangerous, it can cause significant discomfort and distress. With proper treatment, symptoms can be relieved, and flare-ups effectively managed.

How Treating Urticaria Works?
Treatment for urticaria focuses on soothing itching, reducing swelling, and controlling flare-ups. Options may include antihistamines, corticosteroids, or advanced therapies for chronic cases. Identifying and avoiding triggers is equally important for long-term relief. At Derma Redefined, Dr. Sampurna provides personalized treatment for urticaria, ensuring safe and effective symptom control. Her expertise helps patients find lasting comfort, regain skin balance, and improve quality of life. With the right care, even recurring hives can be managed successfully, restoring peace of mind and skin health.
Understanding the Urticaria
Urticaria often appears suddenly, leaving itchy welts that can feel alarming and uncomfortable. It may be triggered by allergies, stress, infections, or sometimes without a clear cause, which can make it even more frustrating. Living with hives can disrupt sleep, focus, and daily confidence. Please remember, you are not alone, and it is not your fault. Many people experience urticaria, and with proper guidance and treatment, flare-ups can be controlled. Relief is possible, and your skin can return to comfort and calm again.
