World Urticaria Day is celebrated worldwide on October 1. The aim of this day of action is to raise awareness of the disease urticaria (hives) and to encourage those affected. At JUVENIS, we are also committed to ensuring that patients receive the correct diagnosis and treatment.

Urticaria - commonly known as hives - is an inflammatory skin disease characterized by red, itchy wheals and sometimes painful swelling (angioedema). It can occur suddenly and subside in acute form within a few weeks. However, if the symptoms persist for longer than six weeks, it is referred to as chronic urticaria.

Around 20% of all people are affected by urticaria at least once in their lives. Triggers can vary - from infections and food to stress or pressure on the skin. In the chronic form in particular, the cause often remains unclear, which can be very stressful for those affected.

Thanks to modern medicine, there are now various ways to alleviate the symptoms. After a detailed diagnosis, treatment usually begins with antihistamines. In more severe cases, advanced therapies such as biologics are also available.

If left untreated, urticaria can severely impair quality of life - for example through sleep disorders, pain or visible skin changes. It is therefore important to seek medical help in good time.

Our team at JUVENIS is on hand to support those affected with expertise and experience. Together, we develop an individual treatment plan to control symptoms and noticeably improve quality of life.
