Urticaria, commonly known as Hives, usually strikes suddenly. First the skin itches, then it erupts into red welts. The itching may be severe, keeping people from working or sleeping. It's a distressing disorder which affects an estimated 15-20 percent of the population at one time or another in their lives. What if there was something you could do to alleviate the pain and embarrassment.  Read on to see if Histarix is right for you!

 What are Hives?

Urticaria is the medical name for Hives. These are welts; pink swellings that come up on any part of the skin. They itch and each individual hive lasts a few hours before fading away, leaving no trace. New hives appear as old areas fade. They can be pea sized or join to cover broad areas of the body. While the itch can be intense, the skin is usually not scabbed or broken. In some people the hives burn or sting.

 How do people get Hives?

Hives results from some changes in the small blood vessels of the skin. Such changes are brought about by the release of some substances in the body, the commonest of which is histamine. Histamine is released from cells called mast cells by either an allergic or non-allergic reaction.

Acute Hives, which can last from a few hours to as long as a week is usually caused by drugs, specific foods or a viral infection. Sometimes, no cause can be detected.

  What are the signs and Symptoms of Hives?

Acute Hives is sometimes due to allergy. Allergy depends on previous exposure to the material, and the development of an immune reaction to it. An immunoglobulin called IgE is involved, which attaches itself to a receptor on the mast cell and causes it to release its chemical mediators.

The cause of an allergy may be:

Medicine: most often an antibiotic, but many other drugs have been reported.

Food: tiny amounts of fish, eggs, nuts or chocolate.

Bee or wasp stings.

Skin contact with a potent allergen: eg fragrances.

Most allergies are mild, but very allergic individuals may develop serious anaphylactic shock within a few minutes of exposure. The most frequent causes are antibiotic injections, bee stings or ingestion of peanuts.  Anaphylaxis results in Hives, a tight chest, wheezing (bronchospasm), faintness and collapse. Medical attention must be sought urgently. A subcutaneous adrenaline injection will usually be given: those prone to anaphylaxis should carry an emergency supply (an EpiPen).

Most cases of urticaria are not due to allergy. Histamine and other vasoactive chemicals can be released into the skin for many reasons.  Hives can occur the first time that a person is exposed to the material.

Some non-allergic causes of acute urticaria:

Infection, including sinusitis, helicobacter (a cause of stomach ulcers), dental abscess and candida (thrush).

Serum sickness, due to blood transfusion, viral infection or medicines (e.g. Ceclor); urticaria is accompanied by fever, swollen lymph glands, painful joints and nausea.

Non-allergic reactions to medicines (especially morphine, codeine, quinine, aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).

Non-allergic recurrent angioedema, also provoked by medicines (particularly ACE inhibitors such as captopril, quinapril, enalapril and others).

Non-allergic food reactions, from salicylates in fruit, azo dye food colouring agents, benzoate preservatives and other food additives, or from histamine due to bacterial decomposition.

Chronic Hives.  Occasionally, a person will continue to have hives for many years. These hives, called chronic urticaria, can be one of the most frustrating problems dermatologists see in their patients. This is defined as hives lasting longer than 6 weeks. Patients like this come in miserable and worried with this problem, often having seen multiple specialists.

Physical Urticaria

Physical urticaria is a very common urticaria caused by external physical influences. The weals take about 5 minutes to develop, and last 15 to 30 minutes. Some suffer from a mixture of different types of physical urticaria and generalized urticaria. The cause is usually unknown.

Dermographism means "skin writing". Stroking the skin causes it to weal in the line of the stroke. This is very itchy, but scratching causes more wealing. Dermographism usually starts quite suddenly. Weals come up where clothes or furniture touch, especially when the affected person is hot or upset. A warm shower followed by rubbing with a towel can result in itchy weals all over.

Cholinergic urticaria results from sweating. In severe cases, hundreds of tiny red itchy spots develop after running, when warm, or when concentrating.

Cold urticaria affects skin warming up after a reduction in temperature, especially in winter. Wealing can be widespread and may cause fainting. Affected individuals should not expose large areas of the skin to the cold or wind. They should never swim alone.

Contact urticaria refers to the non-allergic stinging reaction of certain plants (e.g. nettles), animals (hairy caterpillar) and medicines. Contact urticaria is sometimes due to allergy to chemicals in white flour, cosmetics, and textiles, or to proteins in latex rubber, saliva, meat, fish and vegetables.

Localised heat urticaria, aquagenic urticaria (water contact), solar urticaria (sunlight), vibratory and delayed pressure urticaria are less common.

  Can there be any serious complications?

Hives on the outside don't harm us. They are not damaging inside organs like kidneys, liver or lungs. The only danger is if the tongue swells or the back of the throat swells severely.

Hives are rarely caused by a nasty underlying disease. Common causes include infection (particularly in young children), or contact with animals or plants. Allergic reactions to food, pain killers (such as aspirin or arthritis tablets like naproxen, diclofenac) or antibiotics can also trigger hives. Sometimes insect stings, food additives or preservatives can trigger hives. Stress can certainly make established symptoms worse, but is a very rare cause of Hives.

  What is the treatment for Hives?

Some possible prescribed treatment options:

Doctors may experiment with a short course of cortisone (steroids) to try and clear the Hives. The patient is then required to follow up with regular doses of antihistamines, since steroids have significant side effects if used long term.

A drug used for psoriasis and kidney transplants, cyclosporin is almost always effective in clearing even the most severe cases of chronic hives at low doses. However, it causes significant side effects including high blood pressure, shaking of the hands, increased hair growth, if taken for a long time.  Also this medication is very expensive.

There are very few effectve drugs, both oral and topical, available for the treatment of Hives.  Oral antibiotics are usually not effective for treating Hives. 

There are no prescription drugs that do not have serious side effects.
