Hives, also known as urticaria, are red welts that appear on the skin and are typically caused by an allergic reaction to foods or medication. They may appear like a normal skin rash that is slightly raised, forming in large patches. Hives may also connect to one another, giving the appearance of very large welts on the affected area.
