• HistamineRelated: Histamine acting on skin vessels is a major driver of the wheals and itch.

• Histamine H1 receptorRelated: Histamine acting at H1 receptors drives much of the wheal-and-itch response.

• AntihistamineRelated: H1 antihistamines are commonly used to control itching and wheals.

• PruritusCompared with: Urticaria is a visible skin disorder that can cause pruritus, rather than a synonym for itch.
