What should I do if hives on my face become more and more serious?

Urticaria is an extremely common skin disease with a very high recurrence rate. To completely cure it, you must find the cause; then avoid the occurrence of inducing factors, such as keeping warm appropriately, reducing exercise, controlling emotions, etc.; secondly, inject glucocorticoids with anti-inflammatory effects. Warm reminder: patients with urticaria must avoid smoking and drinking, otherwise the condition will continue to worsen.

1. Treatment of urticaria

1. Find the cause. For every patient with chronic urticaria, efforts should be made to find the cause of the attack and avoid it. Inquire about the medical history in detail to find out whether there is a family history of the disease, atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, history of acute or chronic infection, medication history, occupation, lifestyle habits and environmental changes, etc.

2. Avoid triggering factors. For example, for cold urticaria, you should keep warm; for acetylcholine urticaria, you should reduce exercise, sweating and mood swings; for contact urticaria, you should reduce the chance of contact.

3. Glucocorticoids. Glucocorticoids have strong anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects. It can stabilize mast cell membranes and lysosomal membranes, inhibit the release of inflammatory mediators and lysosomal enzymes; it can constrict blood vessels and reduce exudation.

4. Reduce histamine release. Patients with chronic urticaria can choose drugs that have the effect of inhibiting mast cell degranulation.

5. Antihistamines. Most patients with chronic urticaria can achieve satisfactory results after treatment with antihistamines, but a few patients are more stubborn.

2. Things to note for patients with urticaria

1. For patients with chronic urticaria, you must first find the allergens and know what will make you allergic. On the other hand, you should also be careful to avoid touching such items or foods again.

2. Reduce the intake of irritating foods and eat light food. People who are sick must avoid smoking and drinking.

3. Patients should pay attention to their own adjustments, ensure adequate sleep, and keep warm.

3. Prevention of urticaria

Try to identify the cause of the disease and eliminate it. For example, be careful not to inhale pollen, animal dander, feathers, dust, castor powder, avoid contact with allergens, and prohibit or abstain from taking certain medications or foods that the body is allergic to. If the symptoms relapse due to hot or cold stimulation, you should not avoid them excessively. Instead, you should gradually introduce them and gradually extend the time of hot or cold stimulation in order to adapt to them. For travelers, the best way to prevent urticaria is to wear a mask when traveling. The weather is cool in autumn, and wearing a mask will not feel too uncomfortable, but it can filter out harmful pathogenic dust in the air, greatly reducing the incidence of urticaria. Especially when you go to the wild or rural areas, where there are a lot of pollen and animal feathers, you should pay enough attention. Actively treat primary diseases, such as acute tonsillitis, cholecystitis, viral hepatitis, appendicitis, intestinal ascariasis, etc., to eliminate the source of the disease.
