Symptoms of Chronic Urticaria
Reading time: 1 min
The most characteristic symptoms include:
Wheals (hives). Raised, erythematous and swollen lesions of varying size (ranging from a few millimetres to larger plaques) that cause itching or burning. The wheals disappear within 24 hours without leaving residual marks, but may reappear in different areas.
Angioedema. This affects deeper layers of the skin, most commonly in areas such as the lips, eyelids or genitals.
