Is Urticaria viral or contagious

Just want the answer whether urticaria is infectious or contagious so that I can prevent other children and not allow my child to play outside with other children to protect them from this disease.

Urticaria is an immune response towards an allergen. It is not an infection. However, any infective focus in the body can intiate this response of urticaria.
