Wheals that come and go within hours but keep returning, most days, for weeks. Moya is somewhere to log each one alongside sleep, stress and anything you tried, so you and your clinician have more than memory to go on.
Quick answer
What is the best way to track chronic hives?
Log whether hives appeared, how itchy they were, and any swelling, alongside heat, tight clothing, alcohol, painkillers and stress that day. In most chronic cases no single trigger is ever found, and a clear record of that is itself useful.
Chronic urticaria is recurring hives, raised itchy wheals that usually fade within a day though new ones can keep appearing, on most days for six weeks or longer. In many chronic cases no single external cause is ever found, and that itself is a common and useful thing to be able to tell a clinician.
Moya does not present charts for you to interpret. Every so often it gently reflects back what you have been logging, in plain sentences, for example:
These are simply observations from your own entries, on your own terms. Moya is a wellness tool, not a medical device: it never diagnoses or gives medical advice, and a reflection is a conversation starter for you and your clinician, never a conclusion.
Skin changes slowly, and memory is unreliable. Progress photos stay organised and private, so you can compare honestly across weeks and months.
Under a minute, which is what makes logging a calm day realistic. The calm days are what the flare days get compared against.
Health notes are personal. Moya is built so the record stays yours, and there is no account for it to be attached to.
Read the privacy policyThere is nothing to create, and nothing tied to your name.
Entries and photos live on your phone, not on our servers.
Take the whole record with you, or erase all of it from the app.
Quick daily check-ins cover whether hives appeared, itch, any swelling, and context like heat, medications, alcohol, stress and illness. Everything is built for seconds-a-day logging, which matters for a condition this unpredictable.
No. Moya is a wellness tool, not a medical device. In most chronic cases no single external trigger is ever identified, and Moya does not diagnose, treat or identify a cause. It reflects back what you logged, in plain language.
Hives on most days for six weeks or longer is generally where "chronic" starts, distinct from a short-lived reaction to something specific. If you are unsure which you are dealing with, that is worth raising with a clinician.
A useful record usually needs several weeks, partly because six weeks is the diagnostic threshold itself, and partly because many chronic cases show no pattern, which takes sustained logging to establish confidently.
Yes. Your entries stay on your device. They are not uploaded to our servers or tied to an account, and you can export or delete everything at any time.
Yes, that is what it is. Daily entries kept in one place, laid back out over time, which matters for a condition where each wheal has usually faded by the time you can show anyone.
