Itchy raised welts on the skin

In clinical medicine, hives are the everyday name for urticaria: transient, itchy, raised welts (wheals) with surrounding redness that appear when mast cells release histamine into the skin, often alongside deeper swelling called angioedema. The EAACI/GA²LEN/EDF/WAO guideline by Zuberbier and colleagues defines and classifies urticaria by how long it lasts and what triggers it, separating short-lived acute episodes from chronic forms. The referent is a dermatological reaction pattern, graded by the number and size of wheals and by itch, and it shares nothing with a bee colony or a query engine beyond the plural word “hives.”[1]

Unit
A skin eruption of transient itchy wheals
Recovery means
Individual wheals fade within hours; acute hives resolve in days, while chronic urticaria is defined by recurrence beyond six weeks
Measured by
Scored clinically by wheal number and size, itch intensity, and duration, using instruments such as the urticaria activity score
