When pressed on, the center of the hive will turn white. While typically red, the redness can be harder to see on darker skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hives come in various shapes and sizes. Individual&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/accessmedicine.mhmedical.com\/content.aspx?bookid=392&amp;sectionid=41138735\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>hives can be as small as one millimeter or as large as 6 to 8 inches in diameter.<\/strong><\/a> Someone can have a single hive or a few hives in a single location on the body. This is known as localized hives. Or someone can have severe hives that cover several areas of the body or the entire body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long do hives last?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A person can develop acute hives (or acute urticaria) or chronic hives. Acute hives typically last from a few days to 1-2 weeks. However, some people develop hives that can last up to six weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If hives last more than six weeks, your doctor may diagnose your hives as a case of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/chronic-urticaria\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>chronic urticaria<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are hives contagious?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hives themselves are not contagious \u2014 however what is causing the hives may be contagious. For example, if your hives are caused by an infection such as strep throat or COVID-19, the infection is contagious and can spread to other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do hives itch?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For many people who develop hives, itch is a big concern. It can feel like an unending cycle of itching and scratching, and then itching and scratching again as symptoms worsen. It can affect quality of life and impact sleep, especially in children. Talk with your doctor about treatment options to help decrease the severity of itching.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image241536_0bdbbd-eb.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .kb-image241536_0bdbbd-eb .kb-image-is-ratio-size{max-width:600px;width:100%;}.wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image241536_0bdbbd-eb.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image241536_0bdbbd-eb .kb-image-is-ratio-size{align-self:unset;}.kb-image241536_0bdbbd-eb figure{max-width:600px;}.kb-image241536_0bdbbd-eb .image-is-svg, .kb-image241536_0bdbbd-eb .image-is-svg img{width:100%;}.kb-image241536_0bdbbd-eb .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image241536_0bdbbd-eb\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"629\" src=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/What-can-cause-hives-infographic.jpg\" alt=\"Illustration of a worried woman with red hives on her arms.

Your doctor may also want to run some tests, such as a blood test or skin prick test. These will help identify if there is an underlying problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doctors will ask a lot of questions to explore possible triggers and determine the exact cause of hives. Have you eaten a new food? Started a new medication? Has there been a recent infection? Is there anything upsetting your body system that suggests an autoimmune disease? The history of symptoms is very important in figuring out what is causing hives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there is no obvious trigger or the trigger is unknown, this is called idiopathic urticaria.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image241536_7f5615-e3 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image241536_7f5615-e3 size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"567\" src=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Person-with-severe-hives-on-back-1080x567.jpg\" alt=\"Close-up of a person&#039;s back showing a rash with numerous reddish bumps distributed across the skin.

If a avoiding the trigger is not possible, the trigger is not known, or symptom relief is needed, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aafp.org\/afp\/2017\/0601\/p717.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>the first line of treatment is an antihistamine<\/strong><\/a>. If you have hives, it\u2019s also recommended you avoid aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), alcohol and tight clothing, as these can worsen symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While antihistamines are the first line of treatment, the American Academy of Dermatology has outlined <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aad.org\/public\/diseases\/a-z\/hives-treatment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>other treatment options for hives symptoms<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image241536_ee6468-6e .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image241536_ee6468-6e size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"572\" src=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/woman-with-hives-on-shoulder-1080x572.jpg\" alt=\"A person with long dark hair is shown from the side, wearing a black sleeveless top.

They are intended to help ease symptoms of itch and swelling. They do not get rid of hives permanently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Can Benadryl help with hives?<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>For years, doctors prescribed a class of antihistamines called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/313390213_Association_between_urticaria_and_virus_infections_A_systematic_review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">first-generation H-antihistamines<\/a> to patients with hives. The most commonly known<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;is Benadryl. Benadryl is also known as diphenhydramine. First-generation antihistamines tend to have more side effects, such as drowsiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doctors&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aafp.org\/afp\/2017\/0601\/p717.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>now prefer to prescribe second-generation H-antihistamines<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;because they have fewer side effects. Some of the most common second-generation H-antihistamines include cetirizine (Zyrtec), loratadine (Claritin), desloratadine (Clarinex), fexofenadine (Allegra) and levocetirizine (Xyzal).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Chronic Hives Triggers and Treatment: Ask the Allergist (Chronic Urticaria)\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bvrNddzog-Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Corticosteroids<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For severe hives, doctors may prescribe a short course of oral corticosteroids. Corticosteroids, such as prednisone, help reduce swelling, itching and inflammation. If taken long-term, they can cause serious side effects, so follow your doctor\u2019s prescription instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Milder cases of hives can be treated with topical corticosteroids on the affected areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Omalizumab<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Omalizumab (Xolair\u00ae) is used to treat chronic hives (chronic urticaria). It is an injectable biologic medication given once per month. Omalizumab is sometimes used when treatment with antihistamines has failed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Itch Creams<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Topical creams or lotions containing menthol may provide temporary relief of symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Light Therapy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Light therapy, known as phototherapy, may be prescribed by your doctor if treatment with antihistamines fails. Light therapy often requires therapy several times a week for the few months at a treatment center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Treatment Options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For hives that fail to respond to traditional treatment, it is important to work closely with your doctor to discuss treatment options. There are medications that work by reducing your body\u2019s immune response. This treatment should ideally be supervised by a doctor with a specialty in treating hives.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column241536_61aacb-79 > .kt-inside-inner-col{padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px;}.kadence-column241536_61aacb-79 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column241536_61aacb-79 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column241536_61aacb-79 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column241536_61aacb-79 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column241536_61aacb-79 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column241536_61aacb-79 > .kt-inside-inner-col{background-color:var(--global-palette4, #2D3748);}.kadence-column241536_61aacb-79 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column241536_61aacb-79{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column241536_61aacb-79 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column241536_61aacb-79 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column241536_61aacb-79\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.kadence-column241536_ccfc7a-57{max-width:800px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;}.wp-block-kadence-column.kb-section-dir-horizontal:not(.kb-section-md-dir-vertical)>.kt-inside-inner-col>.kadence-column241536_ccfc7a-57{-webkit-flex:0 1 800px;flex:0 1 800px;max-width:unset;margin-left:unset;margin-right:unset;}.kadence-column241536_ccfc7a-57 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column241536_ccfc7a-57 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column241536_ccfc7a-57 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column241536_ccfc7a-57 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column241536_ccfc7a-57 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column241536_ccfc7a-57 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column241536_ccfc7a-57{position:relative;}@media all and (min-width: 1025px){.wp-block-kadence-column.kb-section-dir-horizontal>.kt-inside-inner-col>.kadence-column241536_ccfc7a-57{-webkit-flex:0 1 800px;flex:0 1 800px;max-width:unset;margin-left:unset;margin-right:unset;}}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column241536_ccfc7a-57 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-column.kb-section-sm-dir-vertical:not(.kb-section-sm-dir-horizontal):not(.kb-section-sm-dir-specificity)>.kt-inside-inner-col>.kadence-column241536_ccfc7a-57{max-width:800px;-webkit-flex:1;flex:1;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;}.kadence-column241536_ccfc7a-57 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column241536_ccfc7a-57\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-kb-palette-6-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0e4164a9d303fdfaf8e59732d1214d7c\">Are there other conditions that can look like or complicate allergies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-kb-palette-6-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-827c6c50afca522c0eb9bca3aa281d4c\">There are other types of conditions that can mimic allergies, but are different than an IgE-mediated allergy.
