Hives are itchy red welts which can erupt without warning. They're rarely dangerous but can be uncomfortable, especially if they recur often. Hives that last for 6 weeks or longer are considered chronic. Some people may have hives for years. It can be challenging to figure out what triggers these itchy occurrences, although allergens can sometimes be a cause. When the reason for hives remains unknown, they're said to be idiopathic. Around 30 to 40 percent of the time, idiopathic hives are triggered by the body's own immune system. These hives are autoimmune in nature and are known as autoimmune urticaria (hives).

They may also occur in conjunction with diagnosable autoimmune conditions. It is possible to have more than one autoimmune condition at the same time

Heat rash One of the most common rashes experienced during the warmer months is heat rash - this occurs when the skin's sweat glands are blocked, or can be a result of excess sweat due to overheating or physical activity. "A heat rash occurs when the sweat gland pores become blocked and sweat is unable to evaporate from the surface of the skin. This results in red bumps or an itchy skin sensation," explains Dr Zainab, dermatologist from Omniya Clinic. Luckily, while this type of rash can be itchy and uncomfortable, keeping the skin cool should relieve symptoms and the rash will usually resolve on its own.
