Chronic urticaria is a skin condition that causes recurring itchy, raised welts (hives) that may appear anywhere on the body and usually last for more than six weeks. The welts may vary in size, come and go, and sometimes be accompanied by swelling. Although the exact cause is often unknown, treatment can help relieve symptoms and manage the condition.
