Chronic hives (urticaria) often come with swelling called angioedema. Good care treats both the symptoms and the triggers behind them.

It starts with a thorough consultation about your medical history and current symptoms. Diagnostic tests, including skin prick tests and blood work, help us pinpoint the root cause. With that information, we build a treatment plan that may include antihistamines, corticosteroids or, for severe cases, biologic injections. Lifestyle changes and stress management techniques often support your medical treatment.

Regular follow-up visits keep your care on track and let us adjust treatment as needed. Quick relief matters, but we also want to improve your quality of life so hives stop running your days.
