Urticaria is a common dermatological condition characterized by the appearance of raised, itchy welts (hives) on the skin. These welts can appear suddenly and last for only a few hours or persist as chronic urticaria for more than six weeks. Urticaria can be triggered by allergies, infections, stress or even physical factors such as heat or cold.
At our dermatology clinic, we focus on accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment of urticaria, tailored to each patient’s needs. Our goal is to relieve bothersome symptoms and help you quickly return to your daily activities. Trust us for a comprehensive approach to managing your condition.
Avoidance of Triggering Factors:
- Identifying and avoiding allergens or triggers that cause urticaria (e.g., foods, medications, extreme heat or cold, physical or emotional stress).
Medications:
- Antihistamines first- and second-generation.
- Corticosteroids.
- Immunosuppressants (cyclosporine).
- Monoclonal antibodies (e.g. omalizumab) for chronic spontaneous urticaria.
