Homeopathic Medicine For Urticaria

Urticaria, commonly known as hives, is a skin condition characterized by the sudden appearance of itchy, raised, and red or pink welts or wheals on the skin. These welts can vary in size and shape and often appear and disappear within a few hours. In some cases, they may last for several days.

There are two main types of urticaria:

Acute Urticaria: This type of urticaria typically lasts for less than six weeks and is often caused by triggers such as allergies to food, medications, insect stings, or environmental factors like pollen or pet dander. It can also be associated with viral or bacterial infections.
Chronic Urticaria: Chronic urticaria persists for six weeks or longer and can be more challenging to diagnose and manage. The cause is often more difficult to identify, and it may be related to autoimmune or other health conditions.

Common symptoms of urticaria include itching, redness, and swelling. In some cases, individuals with urticaria may also experience angioedema, which involves swelling of deeper layers of the skin, often around the eyes and lips. This can be more serious, especially if it affects the throat and causes difficulty breathing.
