Skin problems can be a real problem. They may not be life-threatening but they can be very embarrassing, ugly, disgusting, etc. Hives or urticaria is a skin allergy that can be caused by various allergens such as insect bites, a material in clothes, temperature, food, drugs or medication, etc.

As with most skin allergies, hives or urticaria appear can appear almost anywhere on the body and the area can be small or very large. Symptoms of urticaria or hives are inflammation, a sensation of burning pain, stinging as well as itching.

There is normal urticaria or hives but also acute or chronic urticaria. Depending on the type, it can be more uncomfortable and it can last a lot longer. Acute or chronic urticaria can last several months, maybe even years, normal urticaria can be gone in a matter of days.

Since it is an allergic reaction, most allergic reactions can be treated quite well with the use of antihistamine drugs which come in various forms, such as creams or lotions, capsules, etc.

Antihistamine is the most popular but also the most effective treatment of allergic skin reactions. Antihistamine is for allergic skin reactions kind of like antibiotics are for bacterial infections.

The name comes from histamine and histamine receptors. Histamine is an organic compound that your body makes naturally and that is used and released in an immune response, such as responding to an allergic reaction, inflammation.

Sometimes, often, your body exaggerates in sending histamine and the result is itching and pain. Your body tries to do this in order to help the permeability of the capillaries to white blood and help with the elimination of pathogens in the tissue, but there are such side-effects.

Antihistamine is great to reduce symptoms of allergic reactions and a lot of people use them. On the other hand, there are products such as Oxyhives, a homeopathic product that uses heavily diluted tinctures, mixtures of ingredients and alcohol in order to reduce symptoms of hives/urticaria.
Does it work?

Some claim that it does, there are a few positive comments mixed in with a few complaints, very little feedback. No scientific or clinical evidence to be found anywhere, however. As a homeopathic product, you should approach this with a grain of salt since homeopathy is often very controversial and science often conflicts with it.

In almost all scientific and clinical trials, homeopathic treatments have been shown and proven to be no more than placebo treatments, so, homeopathy doesn't have a very good reputation.
