Chronic hives, or medically referred to as urticaria<\/a>, can be annoying and perplexing. The skin condition is marked by red, raised welts that itch and can suddenly appear in varying sizes and time frames. For most patients, the most important concern is: Why am I continuously getting hives? At Navi Mumbai\u2019s Tvaksh Advanced Skin & Hair Clinic<\/a>, board-certified dermatologists Dr. Suraj Shetty<\/a> and Dr. Joshika Shetty<\/a> are skilled at diagnosing and treating urticaria with patient-centric care and cutting-edge skin care treatments.<\/p>\n

If you experience recurring bouts of inexplicable hives, knowing the most common urticaria causes is the first step toward relief and prevention.<\/p>\n

What Is Urticaria?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Urticaria, or more popularly referred to as hives, is an itchy welt reaction on the skin. They can be found anywhere on the body and usually last for several hours to several days. Urticaria can either be acute (less than six weeks) or chronic (longer than that). Chronic urticaria can be particularly problematic since it usually comes without a apparent reason.<\/p>\n

Common Triggers of Urticaria<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Allergic Reactions<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    One of the most frequent reasons for urticaria is an allergic reaction. Causes may be:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Specific foods (shellfish, nuts, eggs)<\/li>\n
    • Drugs (antibiotics, NSAIDs)<\/li>\n
    • Insect stings or bites<\/li>\n
    • Pollen and animal hair<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      In most instances, finding and avoiding the allergen can help lower outbreaks substantially.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Environmental Factors<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Temperature, pressure, or sun exposure changes can cause hives in some people. This is referred to as physical urticaria and consists of:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Cold-induced urticaria<\/li>\n
        • Heat or sweat-induced urticaria<\/li>\n
        • Sunlight (solar urticaria)<\/li>\n
        • Pressure or vibratory urticaria\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
            \n
          1. Infections<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Viral and bacterial infections\u2014particularly the upper respiratory tract infections\u2014can cause hives that are temporary in nature. Chronic urticaria may, in some instances, be associated with underlying infections that require treatment.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Stress and Emotional Factors<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              More prevalent than many are aware of is stress-induced urticaria. Emotional stress or anxiety can activate the release of histamines and other chemicals within the body, resulting in the formation of hives.<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Autoimmune Conditions<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                In a few chronic cases, the body\u2019s immune system might incorrectly target normal skin cells, leading to repeated hives. Autoimmune urticaria might need specialized therapy, typically combining antihistamines and immune-modulating therapy.<\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. Hormonal Imbalance<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  Hormonal fluctuations\u2014like those seen during menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause\u2014might sometimes provoke or aggravate urticaria.<\/p>\n

                  When to See a Dermatologist for Urticaria<\/strong><\/h2>\n

                  If your hives persist for more than a few days, recur frequently, or interfere with your quality of life, it\u2019s important to consult a dermatologist.
