蕁麻疹是一種令人沮喪的疾病，一般估計約有百分之二十的人終其一生曾為蕁麻疹所苦。大部份的蕁麻疹為急性發作，發作時間自數小時至數日不等，很少超過六個星期；少部份的蕁麻疹發作會超過六個星期，則稱之為慢性蕁麻疹。蕁麻疹隆起的腫塊可以在身體的某一處出現，短時間後消失，然後又一處接一處的在其他部位出現。

Urticaria is an illness which can be very discouraging. It is estimated that about 20% of all people have experienced urticaria in their lifetime. Most incidences of urticaria are acute, with symptoms lasting anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Only rarely will the condition persist for longer than six weeks. If symptoms do continue past six weeks it is considered to be chronic urticaria. The wheals that arise on the body with urticaria often appear in one particular area. Then after a short period of time they may disappear only to be followed by eruptions on other areas of the body.
