Pediatric Urticaria

Pediatric urticaria, commonly known as hives in children, is a skin condition characterized by raised, itchy welts or rash. It occurs when the body's immune system releases histamine in response to triggers such as allergens, stress, or infections. The welts can vary in size and may appear and fade quickly. Most cases are mild and resolve on their own, but treatment options, including antihistamines, can help relieve itching and discomfort. While it's generally not serious, recurring episodes may require medical evaluation to identify underlying causes and prevent further outbreaks.
