Why do hives appear on the skin? These are the surprising factors you might not know about.
Urticaria is a skin condition characterized by the appearance of raised, red, itchy welts. These lesions can vary in size and form clusters that appear on various areas of the body, such as the face, arms, legs, and trunk.
