Urticaria refers to a group of disorders in which red patches and weals occur in the skin. Urticaria, or hives, is a common skin condition that affects 15-25% of the population at some point in their lives. Urticarial disease is thought to be caused by the release of histamine and other mediators of inflammation (cytokines) from cells in the skin. Some hives are caused by allergies to such things as foods and medications, but the large majority of cases are not allergic, and no specific cause for them is ever found. Urticaria is classified as either acute or chronic. Acute urticaria is defined as urticaria that has been present for less than 6 weeks. Chronic urticaria is defined as urticaria that has been continuously or intermittently present for at least 6 weeks. Chronic urticaria is referred to as chronic idiopathic urticaria.
