Focus of general dermatology |
The symptoms of urticaria are itching wheals on the skin. The disease can be acute or chronic and the causes vary: infections, medications, various allergies and other intolerances, but also physical irritations such as pressure, heat, cold or strains – occasionally combined with the consumption of certain foods – can be trigger factors.
Uncovering the possible cause is also a challenge for experts and is performed with the latest expertise and under consideration of current guidelines at the DERMATOLOGIKUM HAMBURG. Even if a definite cause can't always be determined, long-term improvement of the ailment can be achieved in most patients.
