Hives is the common name for urticaria. If you tend to have swelling around lips and/or around eyes or any breathing difficulty, hives lasting for more than 24 hours; you need to definitely consult a dermatologist. Mild occasional /rare episode after dust/ temperature change etc can be managed with moisturizers and lactocalamine. Presence of extensive itching severe enough to distract you.
