One common condition that affects both children and adults is urticaria, more commonly known as hives. Although the appearance of hives can be alarming, they are often temporary and manageable with proper care. Understanding the symptoms, common triggers, and treatment options can help parents know when home care is appropriate and when medical advice is needed.
What Are Hives?
Hives are raised, itchy welts that appear on the surface of the skin. They can develop almost anywhere on the body and often change shape or location within hours.

The welts may be:
Small or large
Round or irregularly shaped
Pink, red, or skin-colored
Separate or joined together into larger patches
One of the defining characteristics of hives is that individual welts usually disappear within 24 hours, although new ones may continue appearing elsewhere on the body.
The itching can range from mild to severe and may become worse with heat, scratching, or stress.
