The diagnosis of nettle is commonly known as "rubella fast" and "wind mass". People often think that it is a skin reaction after blowing a little wind. In fact, the cause of urticaria is still unknown, which may be related to diet, drugs, insect bites, pollen and intestinal parasites. When nettle is diagnosed, the skin has erythema and edema, and most of them first appear erythema and then form edema. Children only have erythema without edema, and adults have edema and erythema is not easy to detect. Urticaria can occur in any part of the skin, spread to the whole body within ten minutes, or disappear within 1-2 hours. As the saying goes, "Come quickly, go quickly". The rash is itchy and often scratched. After scratching, scratches and protrusions appear on the skin surface. Sometimes it is sent several times a day; It is also sent every few days. For children who often have urticaria, parents should record their daily life (such as what food they have eaten, where they have been, what smells they have smelled, etc.). ), hoping to find allergens, avoid contact with allergens in the future, and reduce the occurrence of urticaria.
Sometimes, in addition to urticaria on the skin, it is accompanied by bouts of severe abdominal pain. This phenomenon shows that gastrointestinal mucosa is also affected by allergens, resulting in edema and congestion. The most serious thing is that due to allergies, the laryngeal mucosa can also be edematous, causing laryngeal obstruction and affecting breathing, especially inhalation. At this time, tracheotomy is needed for rescue. Although this situation is rare, we should be vigilant. Some parents think that urticaria is caused by eating seafood, so children are forbidden to eat this kind of food. In fact, this practice is not correct. There are many allergens, so you can't eat a certain food unless you really catch the "evidence"!
Urticaria is generally treated with traditional Chinese medicine. Look at the following article.
Urticaria, commonly known as "rash", "wind mass" and "addiction rash" in traditional Chinese medicine, is a common allergic skin disease.
The clinical feature of urticaria is the appearance of bright red, reddish or porcelain white air masses of different sizes on the skin. This kind of wind mass often appears suddenly, and quickly fades after a few hours, leaving no trace after fading.
Urticaria can recur, and chronic patients can recur for weeks, months or even years, and itching is unbearable.
