Hives

A closer look at symptoms, what may be worth evaluating and how we approach care.

What it is & how it can feel

Hives are raised, itchy welts that may appear suddenly and move around the skin; they can be short-lived or recur.

What we consider

We review timing, possible triggers, medicines, infections and whether allergy evaluation is warranted. Recurrent hives often have no single identifiable trigger.

Care at Revive

Care may include trigger review, symptom management and allergy or dermatology referral. Swelling of the throat or difficulty breathing requires emergency care.

Your visit begins with your history and the results you already have. Testing is discussed when it can answer a specific question; recommendations depend on your individual situation.
