Eczema vs Hives: Rash Treatments in Scottsdale, Arizona
Not sure what’s causing your rash? Eczema and hives are common skin conditions with different triggers and treatments.
Eczema leads to dry, itchy, and inflamed skin, often triggered by allergies, stress, irritants, weather changes, or genetics. Types include atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and nummular eczema.
Hives are raised, red welts that appear suddenly and can be triggered by allergens, medications, foods, insect stings, or physical factors like heat or pressure. Hives may be acute (<6 weeks) or chronic (months to years).
Causes & Risk Factors
Eczema often starts in childhood, while hives can develop at any age. Allergens, environmental triggers, and immune responses are common causes. Adults with a family history of eczema or allergies are at higher risk.
