Dealing with sudden, intensely itchy welts or swelling? You might be experiencing Urticaria, commonly known as hives. Urticaria causes raised, reddish or skin-coloured wheals that can itch severely, shift across the skin, and sometimes appear alongside deeper swelling (angioedema) around the eyes, lips, or throat. Key care tips: - Avoid known triggers like specific foods, sudden temperature changes, or harsh chemicals. - Wear loose, breathable cotton clothing. - Apply cool compresses to soothe irritated skin. - Never scratch welts, as scratching intensifies histamine release and skin irritation. - Seek immediate emergency medical care if you experience throat tightness or breathing difficulty. At Navkar Clinic, our dermatology team provides targeted clinical evaluations, allergy trigger assessments, and effective treatments to relieve itching and manage flare-ups. Contact our clinic to consult with our dermatology specialists.
