Skin Conditions We Treat

Hives

Hives, also called urticaria, are red and often itchy bumps and welts on your skin.  There are multiple possible causes for hives including allergic reactions to a medication or food, infections, and thyroid or connective tissue disease.  People who have other allergies are more likely to get hives than other people.

Hives are very common and often resolve on their own; however, they can be a chronic problem for some patients.  In severe cases, hives can cause a dangerous swelling in your airways, making it hard to breathe – which is a medical emergency.If you think you have hives or are bothered by an itchy rash, please call our office at 360-254-5267 to schedule a consultation.
