Urticaria

Also known as wheals (hives) which are red, raised, itchy bumps or angioedema (deeper swelling of the skin or mucous membranes). They can be acute or chronic and commonly occur following an infection or as a result of an allergic reaction caused by irritants, insect bites, allergens. Treatment is typically with antihistamines and in severe cases with steroids.
