If you or a loved one is experiencing unexplained itching, look for these key symptoms:
- Red or skin-colored welts that appear and fade within 24 hours
- Intense itching, burning, or stinging
- Swelling that migrates from one area to another
- Worsening at night or after stress, heat, or physical activity
- Recurrent episodes lasting six weeks or more (chronic hives)
Seek immediate medical attention if hives are accompanied by:
- Swelling of the face, lips, or tongue
- Difficulty breathing
- Dizziness or fainting
These could be signs of anaphylaxis — a life-threatening reaction.
