Welts
Welts are raised, red areas on the skin, often resulting from allergic reactions, insect bites, or physical irritation. Typically itchy and uncomfortable, welts can vary in size and shape. They are usually transient, resolving within hours to days. Treatment includes antihistamines and soothing creams to alleviate discomfort and reduce welts.
