Urticaria, commonly known as hives, is a skin condition characterized by raised, red or white welts or bumps that can appear anywhere on the body. These welts often itch and may change in size or shape, disappearing and reappearing in different areas. Urticaria can be triggered by various factors, including allergens, stress, infections, medications, or even changes in temperature. It can be acute (lasting less than six weeks) or chronic (persisting longer), and symptoms can vary in severity.
