Hives: Symptoms and Triggers

Hives, also known as urticaria, are allergic skin conditions characterized by red rashes of various sizes and shapes, accompanied by intense itching and swelling. The symptoms of hives are often sudden and dramatic.

Hives throughout the body can be triggered by various factors, including food, medications, insect bites, or even stress. A less common trigger is sun allergy, while common triggers include foods such as nuts, seafood, milk, or eggs, as well as medications such as antibiotics or painkillers. Other triggers may include contact with plants, chemicals, insects, or even physical stimuli such as temperature change or pressure on the skin.

If you are bothered by hives (allergies), do not hesitate to reach out. Our dermatologist at ATODA Medical will assess even a mere photo of your problem. If the doctor determines that a visit would be appropriate, you will be invited for a consultation. If you prefer phone communication, feel free to call us anytime. We leave nothing to chance. We aim to address everything quickly and effectively, with your health being our priority.

Hives: Treatment and Occurrence

How long does hives treatment take? It is important to identify triggers, avoid them, and include the use of antihistamines and corticosteroids to help relieve itching and swelling. If hives symptoms do not improve or if severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing or swelling of the face and throat occur, it is important to seek medical help immediately.

Hives can occur on various parts of the body, such as:

on the hands,
on the feet,
on the thighs,
hives on the face and neck,
on the abdomen,
on the back, and elsewhere.

In some cases, hives can affect internal organs, which can cause serious complications. Untreated hives can have serious consequences, including anaphylactic shock, a life-threatening condition. Therefore, it is important to seek medical help as soon as hives symptoms appear.

What our patients appreciate the most

Sabina Günther

I go to Dr. Podstolska with my one-year-old daughter. I am very satisfied with her individual approach, willingness to solve even seemingly small things. Of course, she is professional and friendly at the same time. I'm also glad for the pleasant office with a play rug, heating over the changing table, the possibility to drive a stroller up to the office. The care of the nurses and their assistance during appointments is absolutely above and beyond. I also appreciate the texting system that reminds me of my check-up/exam appointment in a timely manner.

You start to feel like a VIP when you arrive, it's about health, I will never let myself be treated elsewhere again. I'm looking forward to the check-up, Mr. ex-primary is a capacity,I recommend it to everyone and honestly,I've experienced a lot of hospitals where they treat you as if you're bothering them.
