Contact UsWhat are Hives?
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
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.
Loved meeting Dr Hsu - he is so kind and compassionate and I am looking forward to my rosacea treatments with him! All of the staff at oak derm is fabulous!
Dr Stephanie is Awesome! She is very easy and nice to talk too. very clean office, polite and friendly staff! Easy to schedule an appt. Takes our insurance and very detailed orientated.
Yesterday I had a fantastic skin check and initial visit with Dr. Janiga. From the moment he stepped into the exam room he made me feel comfortable, was extremely personable, and helped educate me about caring for my skin and skin health. I enjoyed his approach of checking me over interspersed with talks about what he found/how I can continue to care for myself. Working in a medical role I interact with all sorts of doctors regularly and can say he is the best combination of professional and casual. Oak Dermatology’s entire staff was also helpful, friendly, and patient while providing a clean and tidy office. I will go out of my way to make sure I continue seeing Dr. Janiga in the future for my check-ups and will recommend him whenever given the chance.

What to Expect from Hives Treatment?
Hives are diagnosed based on their appearance and a thorough evaluation of the patient's medical history. Treatment for hives involves identifying and avoiding triggers, antihistamine medications to alleviate itching and swelling, and, in severe cases, corticosteroids or other prescription medications to manage symptoms. At Oak Dermatology, our team of providers specializes in diagnosing and treating skin conditions, such as hives. We offer comprehensive care tailored to each patient, focusing on relieving symptoms and preventing recurrence. If you are experiencing hives or similar skin concerns, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with one of our providers.
