What Are Hives?
Hives, also known as urticaria, are raised, itchy welts that develop on the skin in response to inflammation in the body. These flare-ups may appear suddenly and vary in size, shape, and location. Hives can be triggered by allergies, infections, medications, stress, or environmental factors. While some cases resolve quickly, others become chronic and recur for weeks or months, causing persistent discomfort, irritation, and visible skin sensitivity.
What Are the Signs & Symptoms of Hives?
- Raised red, pink, or skin-colored welts
- Intense itching or burning sensations
- Swelling beneath the skin
- Patches that change shape or location rapidly
- Flare-ups triggered by heat, stress, or pressure
- Tender or irritated skin
- Symptoms that worsen at night
- Recurring outbreaks lasting weeks or months
How Are Hives Treated?
Your consultation with Dr. Burch or Dr. Brackenrich begins with a thoughtful evaluation of your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and potential triggers. You may discuss when your flare-ups occur, how long they last, and whether factors like stress, foods, medications, temperature changes, or illnesses appear connected to your symptoms. Your skin will be carefully examined to better understand the severity and pattern of your condition.
Hives treatment aims to calm inflammation, reduce itching, and help prevent future outbreaks while improving your overall skin comfort and quality of life. Depending on your symptoms and triggers, management may involve identifying underlying causes, minimizing irritants, supporting skin barrier health, and creating a long-term plan tailored to your needs and lifestyle.
What Happens if Hives Are Left Untreated?
While some cases of hives resolve on their own, persistent or recurring flare-ups can be increasingly disruptive to your comfort, sleep, and overall quality of life. Ongoing inflammation may leave your skin feeling irritated, while untreated triggers can continue to provoke outbreaks. In some cases, hives may also signal an underlying allergic, autoimmune, or systemic condition that deserves attention.
Without proper evaluation and management, you may experience:
- Persistent itching and skin irritation
- More frequent or severe flare-ups
- Swelling affecting the lips, eyelids, or throat
- Difficulty sleeping due to discomfort
- Increased skin sensitivity and inflammation
- Emotional stress or self-consciousness
- Chronic hives lasting for months or longer
