It is also known as urticaria. The skin condition of hives is not contagious unless it contains any infectious agents, such as viruses, which can be transmitted from one person to another. As a matter of fact, a majority of hives are not contagious.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, in general, hives do not spread from person to person. For an individual affected by hives, the rash can occur in localized areas or over many areas, such as the chest, back, and extremities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What Are Hives (Urticaria)?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hives or urticaria is a particular skin rash which is characterized by the development of raised, quite itchy, pinkish or whitish welts on the skin. It can affect a particular area of the body, such as arms or stomach, or may occur over and affect the entire body. The release of histamine in the skin triggers this itchy rash, and it is known to occur due to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.askdrshah.com\/allergy.aspx\">allergic response<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Causes\/ Etiology Of Hives:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hives tend to affect kids and females more frequently. They can occur due to an intake of certain foods or medicines or due to certain conditions, chemicals, drugs, or infections. Here are some agents which can trigger hives.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Foods:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Seafood and strawberries<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Drugs:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sulfa and penicillin<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Infections:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Parasites, viral or bacterial infections<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Duration Of Appearance of Hives:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usually, hives mitigate and vanish in about 24 to 48 hours, if the affected person is no longer exposed to the allergic agent. However, if these skin rashes last longer more many days or weeks, it may be called as chronic urticaria. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often, pregnant women are prone to an increased risk of developing urticaria.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If hives become widespread and the person develops any symptoms, such as wheezing, throat tightening, difficulty swallowing, and\/or shortness of breath, the individual or the individual&#8217;s parents should immediately seek emergency care.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.askdrshah.com\/askyourquestionpage.aspx\">We treat patients from USA, UK, Canada, Australia, UAE &amp; 180 more countries.

And, similarly, when<a href=\"https:\/\/www.askdrshah.com\/app\/urticaria\/urticaria-treatment.aspx\"> treating urticaria with homeopathy<\/a>, a homeopath tries to identify associated symptoms and thereby treats the cause also. Homeopathy follows a totalistic and individualistic approach, and after a detailed discussion with regards to the predisposition and its associated symptoms, a homeopath prescribed a customized remedy which may include one or more of the homeopathic remedies as mentioned below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>1.Apis Mell<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the hives consist of isolated patches which are painful, tender, itch at night, impart a feel of bee stings, turn purple, Apis Mell is indicated.

This homeopathic medicine is used when urticaria occurs due to the bee stings or after eating shellfish. When the skin lesions due to hives turn red resulting in severe burning and itching and when the condition recurs every year or associated with the weather changes, Urtica Urens is indicated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>4.Rhus Toxicodendron:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the affected individual experienced redness, itching skin, Rhus Toxicodendron is indicated.
