Urticaria, a common skin disease, poses significant risks. Does chronic urticaria? And artificial urticaria? How can it be prevented in daily life? Does urticaria have the potential to spread? The primary harm of urticaria is its impact on daily life and work.
Chronic urticaria, if not addressed early in its onset, can persist for an extended period of time, lasting several months or even years. Symptoms worsen at the onset of the day or before bedtime, severely impacting patients' daily life and psychological well-being.
Secondly, it can lead to other complications.
Complications can lead to gastrointestinal symptoms, and typically, the later stages of treatment are quite challenging.
Chronic urticaria often presents with gastrointestinal symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Gastrointestinal dysfunction is accompanied by the development of ulcerative colitis. The primary etiology of this condition is immune dysregulation.
Consequently, it may induce diseases such as autoimmune thyrotoxicosis and even lead to cellular malignancy.
Rash in pregnant women can also lead to immunological atrophy and miscarriage.
Ultimately, it is life-threatening. If the hives are located in critical areas such as the larynx and trachea, recurrent laryngeal edema can occur, leading to sensations of throat obstruction, even to shortness of breath, chest tightness, difficulty breathing, accompanied by palpitations, irritability, nausea, etc. In severe cases, breathing may become distressing to the point of suffocation, posing a life-threatening risk.
The harm of chronic urticaria, patients must pay attention to the chronic urticaria. Urticaria is a type of internal disease manifested externally. Although it appears on the skin, the root cause lies within the body.
The patient's condition is caused by various factors such as the environment, lesion, and diet, leading to a decline in the body's immune system, malfunction of organ metabolism, and microcirculation disorders in the skin. This accumulation of internal toxins that the body should expel leads to the occurrence of skin problems.
(1) The quality of life is affected.
If there is no timely cure, it will be prolonged for several months or years, especially when you get up in the morning and go to bed at night. The itching will be aggravated and the quality of life will be affected.
(2) Causes other diseases.
Symptoms associated with the onset of diseases, such as nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting, indicate gastrointestinal dysfunction. At times, these symptoms may also trigger nephritis and autoimmune hyperthyroidism.
(3) Endangering life.
If chronic urticaria develops in the bronchus, it will cause shock and even life.
The harm of artificial urticaria Artificial urticaria is also a skin scratch disease. It is a temporary red strip bulge caused by scratching the skin with a hand or a blunt instrument. It is an allergic reaction of skin blood vessels. The allergic reaction is caused by both internal and external factors.
There is a special protein in the patient's serum, which is immunoglobulin. If it binds to an allergen, it will cause a series of reactions, causing mast cells around the skin blood vessels to release a large amount of histamine. Histamine causes skin blood vessels to dilate, and serum exudes out of the blood vessels, causing itching.
Symptoms of Arthritis urticaria: The patient's skin is extremely sensitive to mechanical stimuli from the external environment, typically without wheals. When scratched with a fingernail or a dull instrument, it quickly presents as linear raised scars.
Any age, with no apparent cause of onset.
Infective lesions in the body, diabetes, thyroid dysfunction, menopause, etc. are often related to the disease.
Trauma, clothing, friction, binding, scratching, and other causes can induce urticaria and itching.
The duration is indefinite, lasting several months or persisting for a long time.
Allergen is an important factor leading to artificial urticaria, the most common allergen being drugs, especially penicillin and serum derivatives, as well as bacteria, fungi, vegetable proteins and animal proteins.
Many people neglect the treatment of athlete's foot, and its metabolic products often serve as strong allergens. After absorption by the body, an antigen-antibody reaction occurs, which also induces skin allergies in the body.
How to Prevent Eczema and Allergic Rhinitis Eczema patients should avoid certain foods that can trigger allergies, with animal proteins being the main culprits. The most common allergens are fish, shrimp, crab, milk, cream products, eggs, etc.
Secondly, plant-based foods such as bamboo shoots, spinach, mushrooms, shiitake, eggplant, broad beans, cucumber, garlic, celery, citrus fruits, plums, strawberries, and nuts like chestnuts, ginkgo nuts, walnuts, peanuts etc.
In addition, there are some foods that can cause allergies to some people, such as wine, chocolate and acrolein, as well as colors, condiments, preservatives added to food, natural or synthetic substances in food such as yeast, salicylic acid, citric acid, etc., and foods with added mint such as mint candies, mint cigarettes or pastry foods.
1. Eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins or take vitamin C and B groups.
2. Do not eat foods containing artificial additives, fried, fried or spicy foods.
3. Less hot compress: Although heat can temporarily relieve local areas, it is actually irritating, because heat can cause tension in blood vessels and release more allergens.
4. Avoid scratching: Scratching not only fails to alleviate itching but may actually worsen the condition by increasing local temperature and causing more histamine to be released into the bloodstream, exacerbating the problem.
5. Take adequate rest, avoid fatigue, and engage in moderate exercise.
6. Eat more alkaline foods: grapes, green tea, kelp, tomatoes, sesame seeds, cucumbers, carrots, bananas, apples, oranges, mung beans, coix seeds, etc.
Urticaria is not contagious.
The causes of urticaria are complex and may be related to exposure to chemicals, dust, mosquitoes, drugs, food, stress, emotions, fatigue, and even hormones. Everyone's situation is different. Not everyone is allergic. Not everyone is allergic to seafood or eggs or milk, and not everyone may have allergic reactions to antibiotics. This varies from person to person.
There are many types of urticaria, such as acute urticaria, chronic urticaria, biliary alkaline urticaria, etc.
Some of them are caused by allergies, mainly by finding allergic factors, and some are caused by autoimmune diseases. So far, the cause has not been found in medicine. A small number of patients with urticaria can be cured.
The patient is not familiar with urticaria, so they think it is contagious, which is actually a very superficial view.
The symptoms are pronounced, but there is no source of infection, so the patient can be completely at ease in contact with family members.
Moreover, in order to completely cure urticaria, it is imperative to promptly seek treatment when symptoms first appear and to pay attention to dietary issues. This will enable a complete recovery from urticaria.
