Eczema vs Hives – Enticare, Chandler, Arizona
Not sure what’s causing your rash? Eczema and hives are common skin conditions that can appear at any age and may result from allergies, stress, or environmental triggers.
Eczema
Eczema causes dry, itchy, inflamed skin and may appear on joints, hands, or scalp. Triggers include allergens, irritants, and stress. Treatment focuses on moisturizers, topical creams, and managing allergies.
Hives
Hives are red, raised, itchy welts that appear suddenly. They can result from allergens, medications, insect bites, or physical triggers like heat or pressure. Acute hives last under six weeks; chronic hives can persist for months or longer. Antihistamines, steroids, or allergy testing often help.
