What are hives?
Urticaria (hives) are a kind of skin rash notable for dark red,
raised, itchy bumps. Hives are frequently caused by allergic reactions, however there are many non-allergic causes. For example,
most cases of hives lasting less than six weeks (acute urticaria) are the result of an allergic trigger. Chronic urticaria
(hives lasting longer than six weeks) are rarely due to an allergy. The majority of patients with chronic hives have an unknown
(idiopathic) cause. Perhaps as many as 30-40% of patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria will, in fact, have an autoimmune
cause. Acute viral infection is another common cause of acute urticaria (viral exanthem). Less common causes of hives include
friction, pressure, temperature extremes, exercise, and sunlight. It may be true that hives are more common in those with fair skin.
How are hives treated?
Chronic urticaria (hives) can be difficult to treat. There are no guaranteed treatments or means of controlling attacks, and
some sub-populations are treatment resistant, with medications spontaneously losing their effectiveness and requiring new
medications to control attacks. It can be difficult to determine appropriate medications since some, such as
loratadine, require a day or two to build up to
effective levels, and since the condition is intermittent and outbreaks typically clear up without any treatment.
Most treatment plans for urticaria involve being aware of one's triggers, but this can be difficult since there are several
different forms of urticaria and people often exhibit more than one type. Also, since symptoms are often idiopathic (unknown
reason) there might not be any clear trigger. If one's triggers can be identified then outbreaks can often be managed by
limiting one's exposure to these situations.
