Allergic urticaria is a severe
skin condition
characterized by the presence of welts that itch intensely. It is
caused by an allergic reaction, an infection, or a nervous condition.
It is also known as urticaria allergy. Sometimes, it has very
similar symptoms to Urticaria
Pigmentosa Mastocytosis.
Mast cells play an important role in the allergic reaction that causes allergic
urticaria. These cells are widespread in human skin. Histamine and
other pro-inflammatory substances are released from these mast cells
into the skin and tissues in response to the binding of allergen-bound
IgE antibodies to high affinity cell surface receptors. Besides mast
cells, basophils and certain other inflammatory cells are also believed
to release histamines and other mediators and are thought to play an
important role, especially in allergic urticarial diseases.
Allergic
Urticaria Treatment
Urticaria allergy treatment can be a
challenge even for a physician. The following suggestions can help
patients find relief from the itchiness and swelling.
- All
allergic urticaria patients should avoid certain drugs, such as
aspirin, codeine, opiates, procaine, alcohol, and polymyxin B. Patients
should also avoid hot baths and vigorous rubbing after bathing. These
drugs and activities can release histamines, which can aggravate the
situation and cause extreme itching and flushing.
- Different
foods containing tartrazine or meats preserved with benzoates can
trigger allergy. Therefore, you should not consume such food items or
confectionery.
-
Keep the affected area cool with a fan or an ice pack.
- Oppressive
treatment of allergic urticaria is carried out by administering
antihistaminic drugs, such as Chloropheneramine (Avil) triprolidine
hydrochloride, Actidil and Cyproheptadine hydrochloride (Periactin).
Consume according to the doctor's prescription or the dose frequency
should be adjusted to provide adequate coverage for 24 hours.
-
The drugs mentioned above may cause varying degrees of drowsiness;
therefore driving, operating machines, and performing other jobs that
require mental vigilance should be avoided as long as the effect
persists.
- If
your urticaria allergy is not responsive to oral
antihistamines, then you may have to be treated with injections of
adrenaline or steroids, especially if you are having trouble breathing
due to swelling in the airway.
