Urticaria swelling is one of the most common and obvious symptoms of
urticaria. The affected area of the skin becomes swollen, causing itchiness and
pain. Urticaria eczema is an erroneous terminology used for eczema, which
is a form of dermatitis or inflammation of the outer layer of the skin (the
epidermis). Most of the time, people confuse eczema with urticaria; however,
eczema is more likely to be found on the flexor aspect of joints.
Urticaria
swelling depends on the severity of the condition. If you are suffering from
chronic urticaria then the swelling may be persistent; however, in most cases,
the swelling does not last more than 8 to 12 hours. Patients should avoid the
triggers that cause or aggravate the situation. In some types of urticaria, if
the affected area is cooled down with a fan or ice, the swelling reduces.
However, patients of
cold induced urticaria or aguagenic urticaria should avoid these tactics.
In most cases, the swelling is not life threatening; however, if it occurs in
the upper area of the airway it can create suffocation and it can be fatal. In
this case, the patient should seek medical treatment immediately. If your
swelling does not go away even after you have tried home remedies, it is
advisable to consult your doctor. However, keep in mind that herbal medicines
have been used for all kinds of skin conditions for many years and are still
popular, as they have no side effects.
