Chronic urticaria is a more common condition than one would think. In the world it is estimated that 1% of the population suffers from it, without significant variations between different regions. The most affected are women between the ages of 30 and 50.
Common urticaria is the appearance of reddish bumps on the skin, accompanied by intense itching. These bumps are of different sizes and can appear and disappear suddenly, as if they were changing places.
Common hives turn into chronic hives when it lasts over time. From a clinical point of view, to diagnose it the patient must have suffered it for more than six weeks in a year, even considering the intermediate times without visible lesions.
