Chronic Urticaria involves recurring hives for more than six weeks.
Individual welts usually disappear within a relatively short period, although new ones may develop.
Potential triggers may include:
Often, no specific external trigger is identified in chronic spontaneous urticaria.
Diagnosis is usually based on history and clinical examination. Investigations are guided by the individual presentation.
Treatment commonly involves antihistamines and other specialist-directed treatments depending on severity.
The consultation may explore the appearance and distribution of hives, itching, timing, temperature sensitivity, pressure, food-related observations, stress, associated symptoms, and treatment history.
Hives accompanied by swelling of the tongue or throat, difficulty breathing, dizziness, or fainting may indicate a severe allergic reaction and require emergency medical attention.
One day it may be the arms. Another day the back or legs.
The welts may appear suddenly, disappear, and return somewhere else.
Living with unpredictable hives can be frustrating.
At Take Care Homoeopathy, we carefully explore the pattern of symptoms, possible triggers, timing, environmental factors, associated complaints, and previous treatment.
