Urticaria (also known as urticaria) is a reaction of the skin capillaries to various factors causing acute or chronic edema in the dermis. The disease is common, easy to recognize, and unlikely to be transmitted from person to person.
Based on progression, the disease is divided into 2 types: acute urticaria (lasting for 24 hours or less than 6 weeks) and chronic urticaria (lasting more than 6 weeks).
Recovery time depends on disease manifestations, quantity, exposure to allergens and sensitivity of the body. In mild cases, allergies, hives can go away on their own. In contrast, for chronic cases, specialized treatment intervention is required.
