Will hives recur after recovery?

Urticaria is a relatively common skin disease. The characteristic of urticaria is that it is prone to recurring attacks. Because some people have sensitive constitutions, they may be easily affected by external factors or diet, which may cause recurrence. For such patients, they should stay away from allergens and pay attention to dietary taboos. In addition, they should exercise more and gradually improve their physical fitness.

How to prevent urticaria in daily life

Urticaria patients should avoid certain foods. Foods that are prone to allergies are mainly animal protein foods. The most likely to cause allergies are fish, shrimp, crab, milk, cream products, eggs, etc.

The second is plant-based food, such as bamboo shoots, spinach, mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, eggplant, broad beans, cucumbers, garlic, onions, citrus, plums, strawberries, and nuts such as chestnuts, ginkgo, walnuts, peanuts, etc.

In addition, there are some foods that can cause allergies in some people, such as alcohol, chocolate and acrolein, as well as pigments, seasonings, 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 candy, mint cigarettes or pastries.

1. Eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins or take vitamin C and B complex supplements.

2. Do not eat foods containing artificial additives, fried, deep-fried or spicy foods.

3. Use less hot compresses: Although heat can provide temporary local relief, it is actually an irritation because it can cause blood vessels to tense and release more allergens.

4. Scratch less: Scratching will not only fail to relieve the itching, but it may make the itching worse because it will increase the local temperature and release more histamine in the blood, which will make the itching worse.

5. Get more rest, avoid fatigue, and exercise moderately.

6. Eat more alkaline foods: grapes, green tea, kelp, tomatoes, sesame seeds, cucumbers, carrots, bananas, apples, oranges, mung beans, coix seeds, etc.

What is urticaria

Urticaria is commonly known as "wheal". It is a common skin disease, especially in children. The main symptoms are: several large or small red patches appear on the skin surface. These patches feel hard and are extremely itchy. If the skin is scratched lightly, it may cause the capillaries to rupture or be damaged, causing blood to seep out, leaving a raised red scratch on the skin surface.
