Hives

Hives, also known as urticaria, are a type of skin rash characterized by raised, itchy, red welts or bumps that appear on the skin. Hives can vary in size and shape and can appear anywhere on the body. They are typically caused by an allergic reaction to something that comes in contact with the skin or is ingested.

Common triggers of hives include certain foods (such as peanuts, shellfish, and eggs), medications (such as antibiotics and aspirin), insect bites or stings, and exposure to heat or cold. Stress, infections, and autoimmune disorders can also cause hives.
Hives usually go away on their own within a few hours or days, but in some cases, they can persist for weeks or even months. Treatment options for hives include antihistamines, corticosteroids, and epinephrine injections in severe cases.
If you have hives and they are accompanied by difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips or tongue, or other symptoms of anaphylaxis, seek immediate medical attention, as this can be a life-threatening condition.
