These can develop on any part of the skin varying in size from few millimetres to the size of a hand. Urticaria can be categorised as follows:
Acute Urticaria: These rashes do not last for more than six weeks and gets cleared within the duration. It predominantly is caused due to allergens from food, medication or infections and usually affects younger people. Nuts, chocolates, fish, berries, tomatoes and milk are few foods which can trigger acute urticaria.
Affecting mostly mid elderly population these rashes tend to stay for longer than six weeks and may recur in months or years again. These do not have clear pattern and may keep on fading away and reappearing on other places. In 90 percent cases the cause behind occurrence of CU is hard to identify.
