What Are Hives (Urticaria)?
Hives are an allergic-type skin reaction that results in red, raised, itchy patches or wheals on the skin. They may appear anywhere on the body and often fade within a few hours — but in some cases, they can persist or reoccur for weeks or longer.
Common symptoms include:
- Itchy, red or pink welts or bumps
- Swelling of the skin (and sometimes lips or eyelids)
- A stinging or burning sensation
- Skin reactions that come and go rapidly
Triggers may include:
- Allergies (foods, insect bites, medications)
- Heat, cold, pressure or sun exposure
- Stress or anxiety
- Infections
- Unknown causes (idiopathic urticaria)
You can learn more about causes and symptoms on the NHS hives page.
Who Can Use This Service?
Our hives treatment service is suitable for adults who:
- Are aged 18 or over
- Are experiencing mild to moderate symptoms of hives
- Do not have breathing difficulties or facial swelling (which may require emergency care)
- Are not currently under immunology or dermatology treatment for chronic hives
If your symptoms suggest a serious allergic reaction (anaphylaxis), we will refer you immediately to emergency care.
Why Treat Hives Promptly?
While hives often resolve on their own, quick treatment helps:
- Alleviate discomfort and itching
- Prevent disruption to sleep or daily activities
- Stop progression of symptoms
- Provide peace of mind with expert guidance
Prompt use of antihistamines can calm symptoms and prevent the rash from spreading further.

FAQs – Hives Treatment
Are hives contagious?
No, hives are not contagious — they’re usually a reaction to something internal or environmental.
How long do hives last?
Acute hives typically clear up within 24–48 hours, but some may persist for days or weeks.
What medication is used to treat hives?
We usually recommend antihistamines to relieve itching and swelling. In some cases, we may advise stronger or longer-acting options.
Should I be worried about hives?
Most cases are harmless, but if you experience swelling of the lips, tongue, or throat or have difficulty breathing, seek emergency help immediately.
Can you help with chronic or recurring hives?
Yes. We can provide guidance and treatment for mild cases. For long-term or unexplained symptoms, we may refer you to your GP or a specialist.
