Histamine gets released causing the tiny blood vessels (capillaries) to leak fluid into the skin causing these raised welts. While <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hives aren\u2019t contagious<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it\u2019s best to avoid touching them as you may further irritate the skin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allergic reactions to food, medicine, or environmental irritants can also manifest in hives. A number of well-known allergic triggers can cause you to develop hives such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pollen<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain foods or alcohol and food additives<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bug bites and stings<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain medications\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Infection<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Latex<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blood products\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Animal dander<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>What are the common symptoms of skin rashes and hives?<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skin rashes encompass a broad category of abnormalities that can manifest as swollen, red, itchy, or blistered skin. Hives, or urticaria, are a specific type of rash characterized by raised, red, or skin-colored welts that are often very itchy and can also feel like burning or stinging.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both rashes and hives can be acute or chronic, localized to one area, or widespread across the body. They are common indicators of allergic reactions, irritations, or even systemic conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common symptoms of rashes include:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redness or discoloration<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Itchy skin<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swelling<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blisters or welts<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dry, scaly texture<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><b>What are the common types of skin rashes and hives?<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding the various types of rashes and hives can help in identifying them and deciding the best course of action.<\/span><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema): <\/strong>A chronic condition featuring dry, itchy skin that can flake or become inflamed and red. Eczema often appears on the elbows, knees, and neck but can occur anywhere on the body.<\/span><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Contact Dermatitis: <\/strong>This rash occurs when skin comes into contact with an allergen (like poison ivy or latex) or an irritant (such as chemicals in cleaning products). Symptoms include redness, itching, and sometimes blistering.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Psoriasis: <\/strong>A chronic inflammatory condition that leads to the rapid buildup of skin cells, resulting in thick, scaly patches or red, inflamed areas that can be itchy and painful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Hives (Urticaria): <\/strong>Hives are a reaction that causes red or skin-colored welts on the skin. They are typically very itchy and can appear suddenly due to allergies, stress, or for unknown reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Heat Rash (Miliaria): <\/strong>Overheating can stop your body from expelling sweat properly, trapping it in your skin. With nowhere else to go, this sweat can spread under the surrounding skin, triggering an itchy, inflamed rash known as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmaple.ca\/blog\/2022\/10\/13\/prickly-heat-heat-rash-symptoms-treatment-and-prevention\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">prickly heat or heat rash<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Because of its relationship with heat, many develop this <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">skin rash <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">during <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">summer.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It often appears as small, raised, red or skin-coloured bumps, or as clear, fluid-filled bumps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><br \/>\n<\/b><b>How dermatologists treat rashes and hives<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below are some common treatments spanning common types of rashes and hives. They can be highly effective depending on the specific type and severity of the skin condition. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmaple.ca\/providers\/dermatologists\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dermatologists<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will often combine several treatment approaches to achieve the best results while minimizing side effects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Moisturizers and Creams<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moisturizers are foundational in treating many skin conditions, especially <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmaple.ca\/conditions\/eczema-treatment\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eczema<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, where they help hydrate the skin and repair the skin barrier. These are usually applied immediately after bathing to lock in moisture. For inflammatory conditions like eczema, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmaple.ca\/conditions\/psoriasis-treatment\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">psoriasis<\/span><\/a>,<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and contact dermatitis, dermatologists often prescribe topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms. Non-steroid options like calcineurin inhibitors are also used to modify the immune response and reduce flare-ups, particularly in sensitive areas where prolonged use of steroids may be harmful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Compresses<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><\/b><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cool and wet compresses can provide significant relief from itching and discomfort associated with rashes, especially in cases of severe eczema, contact dermatitis, and hives. These compresses can be simple to prepare and use at home, helping to soothe the skin and temporarily reduce inflammation. If heat rashes, in particular, don\u2019t seem to get better even after moving to a cooler environment and using compresses, it could be a sign of something else like an infection. If you suspect this,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmaple.ca\/doctors\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">speak to a doctor<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> right away to confirm the diagnosis.<\/span><b><\/b><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Medications<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oral <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmaple.ca\/features\/online-prescriptions\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">medications<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> play a crucial role in managing severe or chronic conditions. Antihistamines are commonly used to treat hives by blocking the effects of histamine, which is a major factor in itching and swelling. For more systemic conditions like severe psoriasis or persistent eczema, systemic medications such as methotrexate or biologic drugs target specific parts of the immune system to prevent the rapid growth of skin cells or to curb severe inflammation. These treatments are typically reserved for cases where topical treatments are not sufficient.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Light Therapy<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For certain types of psoriasis, light therapy (phototherapy) is an effective treatment option. This involves exposing the skin to ultraviolet light under medical supervision to help control scaling and inflammation. It\u2019s particularly useful for patients who do not respond adequately to topical treatments or who experience widespread psoriasis.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Connecting with a dermatologist<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If over-the-counter remedies haven\u2019t worked, antibiotics or prescription options are available through primary care providers.
