You may never have heard of urticaria, but you have certainly heard of "hives". Urticaria is the real name for that uncomfortable, itchy, red, bumpy, sore, and painful feeling that you get when you have hives. Finding hives remedies is a difficult thing to do because each case is so completely different. The remedy that works for someone else may not work for you at all.
The first and most obvious place to look for hives remedies is at your doctor's office. The only problem with this is that many doctors do not see hives as a very serious problem. There are generally two types of hives - the type caused by allergies and the type caused by stress. If your allergy has not been identified, your doctor will think it is a stress case of the hives, and as such, it will just "go away on its own".
Well, while you are sitting there in agony waiting for it to go away, you can better spend your time online looking for hives remedies that really do work - and there are a few. First of all, before you try any remedy, remember that there is a reason why you have hives and the best remedy is prevention. So, if you can find the root of your problem, that is the best way to go.
That being said, many people who suffer from hives find a lot of relief in frequent cool showers and baths. You may also want to take a milk or an oatmeal bath, which will help relieve some of the itching and burning.
As far as topical hives remedies go, it is usually not a good idea to put lotions or creams on your hives because it could make things worse. Antihistamine creams can relieve the itching, and aloe vera is also a natural way to soothe the pain and burning.
