Wikipedia: "A wheal or wheal response (also termed a welt) is a firm, elevated, rounded or flat topped,[1], generally pale red papule or plaque[2] swellings of the skin(...).An itchy rash consisting of wheals may be called a uticarial exanthem, or urticaria, and more commonly as hives."

Webpage Gezond VGZ: "Urticaria or hives skin rash. Netelroos is een huidaandoening, die ook wel wordt aangeduid met galbulten of met de medische benaming urticaria. De huiduitslag bestaat uit rode, jeukende zwellingen. Deze kunnen optreden op alle delen van de huid, waaronder die van de oogleden, lippen, handpalmen en voetzolen. Er zijn verschillende zaken die netelroos kunnen veroorzaken, onder andere voedingsmiddelen en geneesmiddelen."
