Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #7: Elevated Welts
Quite often, a rash will appear visually as little more than a discoloration of the skin. Others can cause small bumps on the skin or flaking. Their appearance can vary considerably, and some are distinct enough to help medical a professional make a correct diagnosis.
Hives are quite distinct in that they are raised quite significantly from the surface of the skin. The welts will be flat on top, forming what could be considered a plateau. When their color contrasts with the skin, the welts can be very noticeable indeed.
