Treatment for Hives in Brooklyn, NY & Upper East Side, NY

Urticaria, commonly known as hives, is characterized by the sudden appearance of swollen, pale red bumps or plaques on the skin. These can arise due to the body's reaction to certain allergens or for reasons that remain unidentified.

Hives are typically itchy, but they can also cause a burning or stinging sensation. They can occur anywhere on the body, including on the face, lips, tongue, throat, or ears. The size of the hives can vary significantly, from as small as a pencil eraser to as large as a dinner plate. They may also merge to form larger areas known as plaques. While hives generally last for a few hours to a day before fading, they are mostly harmless and often resolve spontaneously. However, treatments such as calamine lotion or antihistamines can provide relief from the discomfort.
