Caption: Urticaria rash (red patches) on a 23-year-old woman's chest. Urticaria (also called hives) is a response of the body's immune system, usually to an allergen, stress or a drug. The rash is itchy and painful. Treatment is to avoid the underlying cause. This is an idiopathic rash, which means that its cause is unknown.
