Allergic urticaria has a certain possibility of spontaneous resolution, but the specific situation needs to be judged based on the severity of the condition and individual differences. When the allergen is promptly removed, the patient no longer comes into contact with the sensitizing substance, and the symptoms are mild, allergic urticaria may gradually resolve on its own. If the allergen persists, the patient's symptoms are severe, or even accompanied by other systemic symptoms such as difficulty breathing or anaphylactic shock, the likelihood of spontaneous resolution is low, and timely medical attention along with targeted treatment is required. Recurrent episodes and a tendency toward chronicity are common in allergic urticaria; therefore, patients should pay attention to avoiding allergens in daily life, maintain skin cleanliness, and undergo necessary treatment and management under a doctor's guidance.
