Hives occurs when histamine and other chemicals are released from beneath the skin’s surface, causing the tissue to become inflamed. Here we want to explain short-term urticaria triggers.
Half of the short-term (acute) urticaria triggers are unknown. Known triggers of short-term hives include:
1- Food allergy to foods such as peanuts, oysters, eggs and cheese
2- Allergic reaction to environmental factors such as plant pollen, dust or chemicals
3- Allergic reaction to latex (which is a common problem among healthcare workers.)
4-Infections from the most insignificant ones such as colds to very serious infections such as HIV
5- Insect bites and stings
6- Emotional stress
7- Some drugs, one of the side effects of which is hives, such as antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and aspirin
8- Physical stimuli such as pressure on the skin, temperature change, sunlight, exercise and water
