Hives vs. Urticaria
The names of the article is "Hives", yet the term "urticaria" is used throughout the article. If urticaria is the better term to be used, then the article should be entitled "Urticaria". Otherwise, the term "urticaria" should be replaced with "hives" in the body of the article. SMP0328. (talk) 17:27, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

What is nettle rash (hives)?

Nettle rash (also known as urticaria or hives) is composed of reddish itchy weals or swellings in the skin SIMILAR to those resulting from contact with stinging NETTLE. Urtica is the Latin word for nettle".

Management - Antihistamines section unclear
The section under Management - Antihistamine, saying: - “People who don’t respond to the maximum dose of H1 antihistamines may benefit from increasing the dose, then to switching to another non-sedating antihistamine, then to adding a leukotriene antagonist, then to using an older antihistamine, then to using systemic steroids and finally to using ciclosporin or omalizumab. “

...is slightly unclear. It is possibly a run-on sentence because of the repeated use of "then to". It is also unclear if it is meant the following suggestions are steps in a process to be replicated if the first suggestion (increased dose) doesn't work - or - if they are all not good suggestions if the first suggestion (increasing the dose) doesn't work.

Thanks

A draft has been submitted which largely duplicates this article but has some additional information in it, so that this article should be updated. Robert McClenon (talk) 09:57, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

Chizzola Maculae under Water Induced
Noticed my edit was undone. I suggest the following paragraph should be included. Chizzola maculae is not only documented by medical science, it is something I and my family experienced. Lack of awareness results in needless suffering. Removing this small paragraph because of a pro-fluoridation POV is a disservice.
 * Chizzola maculae is a very specific skin lesion due to fluoride exposure. The size of a coin, these lesions may resemble small blue bruises or be wholly pink. Doctors George Waldbott and V. A. Cecilioni named the lesions after a town in Italy, where they were common in young women and children.[17] According to Waldbott, chizzola maculae are early symptoms of fluoride intoxication.[18][19]

 * What you describe Seabreezes1, does not belong on this wikipage about urticaria, but under Fluoride.--Wuerzele (talk) 15:28, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Papular Urticaria
Papular urticaria is not really a form of hives. It directs to this article, but there is no discussion of it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.97.30.208 (talk) 12:28, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree that Papular urticaria is not a form of hives. It should redirect to insect bites. Who can change the redirect ?--Wuerzele (talk) 15:41, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
