Urticaria

Urticaria, commonly known as hives, appears as red, itchy, raised welts on the skin. It can be triggered by allergic reactions, stress, infections, or medications. Chronic hives can significantly affect a patient’s daily life and comfort. Dr. Ankit Parashar takes a systematic approach to diagnose the underlying cause through detailed history, allergy testing, and lab investigations when necessary. Treatment includes antihistamines, corticosteroids for severe cases, and lifestyle recommendations to minimize triggers. The focus is on both immediate relief and long-term prevention, ensuring patients experience fewer flare-ups and improved quality of life.
