Abstract

Hives, often referred to as urticaria, are a common dermatological disorder marked by the abrupt emergence of itchy, raised wheals on the skin. With varied causes and underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, it might present as acute or chronic symptoms. This review article offers a thorough summary of the pathogenesis, diagnoses, and available urticaria treatments. The complement system, mast cell activation, and autoimmune components all play a role in the underlying mechanisms of urticaria. Urticaria is accurately identified by diagnostic criteria and clinical signs, and its subgroups are characterized by categorization systems. The management plans for urticaria include non-pharmacological methods like avoiding triggers and stress management techniques as well as pharmaceutical therapies like immunomodulatory drugs and antihistamines. Healthcare providers can improve patient outcomes and raise their quality of life by comprehending the intricacy of urticaria and using the best management techniques.
