What are

hives?

Hives, also known as urticaria, are a skin condition characterized by itchy, raised, and often red welts or bumps that appear suddenly on the skin. They can vary in size and shape and may change location on the body. Hives are typically caused by an allergic reaction or other triggers, such as stress or medications, and can be acute (short-term) or chronic (lasting for more than six weeks).

Treatment Options

hives

Treatment for hives may vary depending on the severity of the condition and its underlying cause. Some common treatment options include:

Antihistamines: These medications can help to relieve itching and reduce the severity of hives.

Corticosteroids:: In more severe cases, corticosteroids may be prescribed to reduce inflammation and swelling.

‍Topical Calcineurin Inhibitors:: This class of medication is used to reduce inflammation and itching in the skin. It is often used in cases where topical steroids are not effective or are not appropriate.

‍Avoiding Triggers: If your hives are caused by an allergen, it is important to avoid exposure to that trigger as much as possible.
‍
Lifestyle Changes: Stress reduction techniques, a healthy diet, and regular exercise can also help to prevent hives.

I’ve struggled with eczema all my life and the various amounts of creams/ointments given to me by other places never helped enough. Dr.Patel is the only dermatologist I have met that explained everything to me clearly so I understood my issue clearly and gave me other options. My hands have never looked so clear in my life. Super happy with his service and his whole office is very nice/professional. Highly recommend!

Dr. Patel is very knowledgeable and helpful. First time I went in he spotted my problem just by looking and immediately assigned me treatment. After following his regiment for a couple of months, it has completely healed. He also was able to check several other areas and prescribed medications for those areas. I highly recommend.

I started suffering from hormonal acne last October and visited many different dermatologists to find a sustainable solution. Dr. Patel is the only doctor who was committed to healing my skin. He saw me every 2 weeks to monitor my treatment and had effectively cleared my skin since I began seeing him in February! I am extremely grateful for him and his entire practice.

I am very happy I found Dr. Patel he knew right away my hair loss issue, diagnosed it and began the treatment regiment. He is so knowledgeable and takes good care of you. I’ve seen rapid results in just 2 visits.The front desk staff are courteous and professional as well, and the wait times are very minimal. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Patel for your all your skin concerns, you won’t be disappointed.

Dr. Patel is amazing. Not only is he great, but he will resolve any issues presented to him. I first came to see him for some skin tags and moles I wanted to remove, which he did. Also, I brought in my mother who was suffering from furuncle … something i’ve never heard from, but Dr. Patel recommended some medicine and my mom skin has cleared up 100%. I love his extreme intelligence and ambition to help with any dermatology issue. I would definitely recommend Dr. Patel to anyone dealing with any skin issue.
