Urticaria
Urticaria, commonly known as hives, is a skin disorder characterised by red, itchy welts. These welts can vary in size and appear anywhere on the body. Urticaria is often caused by allergies, stress, or infections, and usually resolves within 24 hours but can persist longer in chronic cases.
