Urticaria, also known as hives, is an outbreak of swollen, pale red bumps or plaques (wheals) on the skin that appear suddenly, either as a result of the body's reaction to certain allergens, or for unknown reasons. Hives usually cause itching, but may also burn or sting. They can appear anywhere on the body, including the face, lips, tongue, throat, or ears; and they vary in size (from a pencil eraser to a dinner plate), and may join together to form larger areas known as plaques. They can last for hours, or up to one day before fading. This book comprises 33 different urticaria cases from renowned authors at worldwide Urticaria Centres of Reference and Excellence (UCARE). Each case presents patient history and examination, investigation, and diagnosis and management. Clinical images and figures further enhance each case description.
