Hives and Urticaria Treatment

Hives are temporary swellings of the skin, caused by a localized collection of fluid in the dermis due to leakage from the blood vessels. Urticaria can result from any of the following: (a) allergy to foods, pollens or drugs; (b) change in the temperature; (c) infections, including the presence of worms and (d) emotional upsets. Sometimes the cause cannot be accurately determined. A few individuals get hives repeatedly, but in most people urticaria usually gets better over a period of time.

If the cause can be made out, it is easy to cure urticaria. If the cause is not obvious, then a very effective way to get relief is to use anti-allergic drugs (antihistamines) for some weeks till the problem subsides.
