Hives or Swelling
Hives (urticaria) are raised, red, itchy areas on the skin (also called wheals or welts) that appear as an allergic skin reaction. There can be one or many hives in any part of the body and they can present with various sizes and shapes. If the hives occur deeper in the skin they can cause swelling (angioedema).
