Hives Symptoms: What They Look Like

“Hives are characterized by red or pale-colored welts on the skin, which typically come and go throughout the day,” says Sourab Choudhury, DO, a dermatologist and the chief medical officer at The Dermatology Specialists, a private dermatology practice in New York City. “Sometimes they itch, burn, or sting.” On Black or brown skin, hives may appear purplish in color, may match your skin tone, or may appear slightly lighter or darker than your skin tone.
