Urticaria Treatment
Urticaria, commonly known as hives, is a skin condition characterized by raised, itchy welts or bumps that can appear suddenly and vary in size and shape. Our clinic offers comprehensive urticaria treatment options to effectively relieve itching, reduce inflammation, and manage symptoms. Our dermatologists specialize in diagnosing and treating urticaria using advanced therapies tailored to each patient's unique needs.
Understanding Urticaria
1. Raised Welts: Red or white welts on the skin that may change shape, size, and location.
2. Itching and Swelling: Intense itching and swelling that can be triggered by various factors.
3. Acute or Chronic: Urticaria can be acute (lasting less than six weeks) or chronic (lasting more than six weeks).
Personalized Urticaria Treatment Approach
Our dermatologists will assess the underlying cause and severity of your urticaria and develop a tailored treatment plan, which may include:
1. Identifying Triggers: Determining and avoiding triggers such as certain foods, medications, allergens, or environmental factors.
2. Antihistamine Medications: Oral or topical antihistamines to reduce itching, swelling, and allergic reactions.
3. Corticosteroids: Short-term use of oral or topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation during flare-ups.
4. Other Medications: Non-sedating antihistamines, leukotriene inhibitors, or immune-modulating medications for chronic urticaria.
5. Avoidance Strategies: Lifestyle modifications to minimize exposure to known triggers and prevent recurrent episodes.
