Hives Treatment in Beverly Hills
Hives, or urticaria, are raised, itchy welts that can appear suddenly anywhere on the body. They may resolve within hours or persist for weeks or months in chronic cases. At Skin Care & Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills, our Board-Certified, Cosmetic Fellowship-Trained Dermatologists provide thorough evaluation and effective treatment to identify triggers and control symptoms.
What Causes Hives?
Hives can result from a wide range of triggers, including:
- Allergic reactions to foods, medications, or insect stings
- Physical triggers such as heat, cold, pressure, or exercise
- Viral or other infections
- Autoimmune conditions
- Chronic idiopathic urticaria, in which no specific trigger is identified
For roughly half of patients with hives lasting more than six weeks, no single trigger is ever found, which is exactly when a specialist’s approach matters most.
Treatment Options
Treatment is tailored to the frequency and severity of symptoms. Options include:
- First- and second-generation antihistamines
- Other oral or injectable biologic medications
- Trigger identification, allergy testing, and specialist referral when appropriate
When Hives Become Chronic
Hives lasting more than six weeks are classified as chronic and often require a different treatment strategy than a short-lived reaction. Our physicians take a systematic approach to these harder cases, layering antihistamines, adjusting doses beyond standard recommendations when needed, and introducing biologic therapy for patients who haven’t responded to conventional treatment.
Are You a Candidate?
Any patient experiencing recurrent or persistent hives is a candidate for evaluation. Identifying the underlying trigger, or confirming that none can be found, is key to effective long-term management. Schedule a consultation at our Beverly Hills practice today.
