A member asked:

I don't know if i got hives or rosacia since 5 years ago. i would like to know if it can be cured?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Hives vs Rosacia: Hives usually itch, rosacia doesn't. Hives frequently stop with time. Neither is curable, but both are treatable. Check with your doctor or see a board certified allergist or dermatologist.

Hives : Hives or urticaria is characterized by itchy red blotches or bumps that come and go quickly. Rosacea is characterized by red pimples and a flushed face . See a dermatologist to diagnose and treat any skin conditions.
