What Is Urticaria?
Urticaria is a skin condition characterized by red, raised, and itchy welts that appear suddenly. These welts can vary in size and may merge to form larger patches. Urticaria is classified into two types:
- Acute Urticaria: Symptoms last for less than six weeks.
- Chronic Urticaria: Symptoms persist for six weeks or longer and may recur over months or years
Causes
Urticaria occurs when the body releases histamines in response to a trigger. Common causes include:
- Allergic Reactions: Foods (nuts, shellfish, dairy), medications, or insect bites.
- Environmental Factors: Heat, cold, sunlight, or water.
- Infections: Viral or bacterial infections.
- Stress: Emotional or physical stress can worsen symptoms.
- Underlying Conditions: Autoimmune disorders or thyroid diseases.
Identifying the root cause is crucial for effective management, which is why our team conducts thorough assessments during your consultation
Symptoms
The symptoms of urticaria can vary but typically include:
- Itchy Welts: Red or skin-colored raised areas that can appear anywhere on the body.
- Swelling: In some cases, urticaria may cause angioedema, leading to swelling in deeper layers of the skin.
- Skin Irritation: A burning or stinging sensation in the affected areas.
- Temporary Nature: Welts often disappear within 24 hours but may recur in new areas.
If your symptoms persist or worsen, it’s important to seek professional advice to manage the condition effectively
Aftercare
Managing urticaria requires ongoing care to reduce flare-ups and alleviate symptoms. Here are some aftercare tips:
- Identify Triggers: Keep a diary to track potential triggers and avoid them.
- Follow Your Treatment Plan: Use prescribed medications, including antihistamines or topical creams, as directed by your doctor.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to support overall skin health.
- Avoid Irritants: Steer clear of harsh soaps, perfumes, or skincare products that may aggravate the condition.
- Practice Stress Management: Engage in relaxation techniques to minimize stress-induced flare-ups.
Regular follow-up appointments at DrSkinHair will help monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed
