Skin & Hives
Hives lasting 6+ weeks (chronic urticaria) affect about 1 in 100 adults. Most patients can achieve full control with the right combination of antihistamines or biologics like Xolair. We evaluate, identify triggers when possible, and step you through evidence-based treatment until your symptoms are gone.

Acute Urticaria
Sudden outbreak of itchy, raised welts lasting less than 6 weeks. Usually triggered by infection, food, medication, or insect bite. Most cases resolve, but severe reactions need immediate care.
Chronic Urticaria
Recurring hives that last 6+ weeks with no clear trigger. Disruptive to sleep and daily life — but very treatable with the right combination of antihistamines and biologics like Xolair.
