What is Urticaria? Urticaria, also known as hives, is an outbreak of swollen, pale red bumps or patches (wheals) on the skin that appear suddenly as a result of the body''s adverse reaction to certain allergens or for unknown reasons. Hives usually cause itching but may also burn or sting.

About a6patch

I work at GoldBamboo and InsuranceDesk

I love coffee! I feel that the single biggest thing one can do to improve one's happiness on this planet is to purchase an automatic espresso machine.

I am interested in nearly everything...but if I have to choose, travel, old cultures, old cusines, health, wellness, and nutrition are at the top.

Cheers!
