What is urticaria desensitization treatment? Clinically, for some allergic skin diseases, such as urticaria, skin scratches, eczema, skin pruritus, etc., after general anti-allergic treatment, when the curative effect is not good, desensitization treatment can often be used, and sometimes it will receive Good results.
In the clinical setting, for certain allergic dermatoses such as urticaria, contact dermatitis, eczema, and pruritus, anti-allergic treatment may not be effective. In such cases, desensitization therapy can often yield favorable results. It has even been found to be effective in treating other skin diseases, including psoriasis, bullous dermatoses, and scleroderma.
During desensitization treatment, strict aseptic operation generally has no adverse reactions, but a few may cause mild redness, swelling, heat, and pain due to local irritation.
Clinically, there are several desensitization therapies: autologous blood therapy, placental blood therapy, histamine globulin therapy and tissue therapy.
The key to allergy desensitization therapy for urticaria is to improve the patient's allergic constitution.
This is because the etiology of urticaria is an allergic reaction. There are many factors that can trigger allergies, such as medications, food, pollen, etc. Regardless of the cause, the fundamental reason for urticaria is the patient's predisposition to allergies.
Allergy desensitization therapy involves the use of substances that cause allergic reactions in patients to be injected or applied topically, enabling the body to become less sensitive to these substances. This approach prevents the occurrence of allergic reactions when the patient comes into contact with these allergens.
However, individuals with allergy-induced angioedema should first undergo allergen testing to identify the allergens. Only then can they safely and swiftly apply this method for treatment.
Is urticaria desensitization treatment useful? Urticaria is related to allergic constitution, manifested as large red flat bumps all over the body, which are itchy and uncomfortable. The attack occurs suddenly and the more you scratch, the more itchy it becomes. However, it recovers quickly and comes and goes without a trace.
This disease is mostly caused by allergens in food or the environment, such as eating fish, shrimp, crab, fruit or nuts, milk, eggs or drugs. Some are caused by exposure to dust mites, pollen or mold. Decoration, ultraviolet light or contact with cosmetics can also be caused.
Different reasons vary, different methods of treatment and prevention.
When it comes to allergic rhinitis treatment, many patients often mistakenly believe that allergic rhinitis cannot be cured. In fact, allergy desensitization therapy is an extremely effective method of treatment.
It has fundamentally found the key to completely treating urticaria: improving allergic constitution.
It mainly balances abnormal immunoglobulin in the immune system, repairs damaged cells, reverses the body's ability to produce antibodies against allergens and generates antibodies.
At the same time, it is important to pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid contact with allergens in daily life. When treated, one should not use corticosteroid medication, which has significant side effects. If severe cases are encountered, traditional Chinese medicine bath therapy is recommended. The effectiveness and safety of this method are best, and various folk remedies can be used in conjunction for treatment.
Urticaria immunotherapy treatment is based on the theory of immune tolerance and antibody competition. After repeated administration of specific antigens (allergens) to patients, it can induce the production of corresponding blocking antibodies in the body, also known as antagonistic antibodies.
After the specific antibodies are elevated in body fluids, if an exogenous specific allergen is subsequently administered, these antibodies will first bind to it, competing with the existing antibodies within the body and leading to an immune response without causing an allergic reaction.
Urticaria desensitization treatment is a process that also depends on the degree of allergy to the body's allergen, and the cost of urticaria desensitization treatment is also determined based on its process and medication.
The root cause of many skin lesions lies in the internal organs.
It is not only indirectly or directly related to abnormal cell division, infection by pathogenic microorganisms and the toxins it produces, metabolic disorders of the body, imbalance of immune function, endocrine disorders, disorder of free radical toxin metabolism, and even pathological changes in the mental and nervous systems.
Nowadays, desensitization therapy is commonly used to treat urticaria. If injection desensitization treatment is selected, the entire course of treatment will take 2-3 years, and the amount is about 4000 yuan for each type. There are strict systems in regular hospitals, and there will be no arbitrary charges.

At the same time, we should pay attention to our diet: "What are the dietary taboos for urticaria desensitization treatment?
"Let's introduce it to our friends below, hoping to bring help to our patients and friends.
Tolerance to food is mainly related to animal protein foods, with fish, shrimp, crab, milk, cream products, eggs being the most likely allergens. Plant-based foods such as bamboo shoots, spinach, mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, eggplant, broad beans, cucumber, garlic, onions, citrus fruits, plums, and strawberries are also potential causes for allergies, as well as nuts like chestnuts, walnuts, peanuts, and aromatic seasonings. There are some foods that may cause allergies in certain individuals, including alcohol, chocolate, and propyl gallate, as well as food additives such as colors, flavorings, preservatives, natural or synthetic substances like yeast, citric acid, and mint-flavored items such as mint candies, cigarettes, or pastries.
Precautions for desensitization treatment of urticaria: The main manifestation of urticaria is conscious itching, which may be accompanied by abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and chest tightness, heart and breathing difficulties.

What should we pay attention to during desensitization treatment for urticaria? 1. Don't scratch: Don't scratch itching with your hands. Not only will it not relieve itching, it will become more itchy. When you scratch local itching, the temperature will increase, causing more histamine (allergen) to be released from the blood, which will on the contrary worsen.
Don't apply hot compress: If you itch, applying hot compress is another irritant, because heat can dilate blood vessels and release more allergens.
2. Pay attention to diet: Avoid eating foods containing artificial additives and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
Eat less fried, fried or spicy foods.
Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables that are rich in vitamins.
Eat more alkaline foods.
Avoid eating preserved products and fermented foods.
Due to the decomposition of these foods by bacteria and fungi, they easily produce salicylates and nitrites, as well as alkaline polypeptides, which stimulate the further release of substances that promote allergic reactions in the body.
In addition, it is best for patients prone to urticaria to control their diet in advance and eat easily digestible food when they develop colds, diarrhea and other conditions.
3. Nurturing and recuperating: Pay attention to rest, reduce stress, avoid getting too tired, and exercise moderately.
