How common is urticaria?

Urticaria, also known as hives, is a common skin condition that affects approximately 20% of the general population at some point in their lives.

The incidence of urticaria varies depending on age, gender, and geographical location.

In children, the incidence is estimated to be around 1% per year, while in adults, it is approximately 1-2% per year.

The prevalence of chronic urticaria in adults is estimated to be around 0.5-1%. However, these numbers may vary due to differences in study methodologies and population characteristics.

It is important to note that the incidence and prevalence of urticaria may be underestimated due to underreporting and misdiagnosis.
