Hives are itchy, raised bumps, called welts or wheals, on the skin. They can look like bug bites. Hives can be acute (lasting a short time) or chronic (lasting longer than 6 weeks).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Acute hives<\/strong>\u00a0are defined as hives lasting between a few minutes, hours, or days and no longer than 6 weeks. They can happen for a few reasons: allergic reaction, infection, or inflammation in the body.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Contact hives<\/strong>\u00a0are a form of acute hives. The hives occur at the site of contact with the allergen or irritating substance, up to 1 hour after the exposure. Contact hives can often go away if the area is washed off, and otherwise usually go away within a day.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chronic hives<\/strong> (chronic urticaria) occur almost daily and by definition have to last for more than 6 weeks. They are rarely caused by an allergic reaction to food or environmental trigger. The two common types of chronic hives are chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), which are hives that occur for no known reason, and chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU). CIndU are hives triggered by known physical factors such as cold, heat, pressure, friction, vibrations, exercising, sweating, and UV sunlight (rare).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>About UDAY 2026:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The theme of UDAY 2026 is Take Back Control From Itch to Understanding.<\/li>\n<li>This awareness day aims to highlight the unmet needs of people living with urticaria and the vital role of clinical research in driving progress.<\/li>\n<li>UDAY 2026 is supported by the Urticaria Network E.V.
