Hives, known medically as urticaria, are a common skin condition characterized by raised, itchy welts on the skin. These welts can vary in size and shape and may appear as small spots or large interconnected patches. Hives can develop suddenly and often change in location, typically disappearing within a few hours but potentially reappearing in different areas of the body.
What are the Causes of Hives?
The cause of hives can be multifaceted, ranging from allergic reactions to certain foods, medications, insect bites or stings, or environmental triggers like pollen or latex. Other potential causes of hives include viral infections, stress, and underlying medical conditions.
Oak Dermatology Reviews
Dr. Fang is the best dermatologist in Joliet she explains you things well and take care of you. She's not rushed she takes her time.
Dr. Fang and is an absolutely amazing dermatologist! She’s extremely personable and is thorough in her discussions about procedures and after care. I highly recommend her.
After trying to get rid of my acne with over the counter products I decided to try going to a dermatologist. They got me on a routine and my acne is significantly better since I have stuck to it daily.
Staff is friendly and helpful. Stephanie Tracey is personable and takes her time during visits.
Had an excellent first experience with Oak Derm today. I was seen by NP Emily Schnurstein for facial flushing and hair loss. She listened carefully to all of my concerns and addressed each one of them throughly. The front desk staff was also very pleasant.
