It is reasonable to have all warts treated since they can spread to other parts of the body and to other people. Untreated genital warts increase the risk of developing cervical cancer. Women should have regular PAP tests even after treatment. Hives are pink swellings that can vary in size from as small as a pencil eraser to as large as a dinner plate. They can be very itchy and also can burn and sting.
Hives are very common and usually go away within a few days to few weeks.
Sometimes it is impossible to determine what causes hives in a person, but early treatment can alleviate discomfort and complications. The most common causes of hives are foods, drugs, infections, warming of the skin after exposure to the cold, sweating, sunlight, hot baths, blushing, or anger. There is also a condition where hives are caused by firmly stroking or scratching the skin. The best treatment for hives is finding the cause and eliminating it. While investigating the cause of hives, antihistamines are usually prescribed.
