Urticaria

    Last Updated: October 13, 2024

    Urticaria — also known as hives, nettle rash, or wheals — can be an acute or chronic condition. Acute urticaria typically results from exposure to an allergen or infection and lasts less than 6 weeks, whereas chronic urticaria lasts longer and seems to be related to autoimmune dysfunction.

    Urticaria falls under the Skin, Hair, & Nails category.
