Urticaria from insect bites

If you are a patient who often suffers from urticaria, you must understand the root cause of urticaria in your body so that you can solve the urticaria disease fundamentally. Some patients suffer from urticaria due to weather changes, while others suffer from urticaria due to improper diet. Among them, mosquito bites are also a common cause of urticaria. How should urticaria caused by mosquito bites be treated?

Urticaria can be caused by many factors, among which insect bites are a common cause. This type of urticaria is papular urticaria. Patients have experienced insect bites before the onset of the disease. For most papular urticaria diagnoses, it is a systemic allergic reaction caused by insect bites. The saliva and secretions after insect bites can lead to a series of allergic reactions, thus causing the disease. The skin lesions of papular urticaria are characterized by round or fusiform wheals, with needle-shaped to bean-sized blisters on the top of the wheals, which can be scattered or in clusters. The lesions are prone to occur on the extensor side of the limbs and buttocks. There are generally no systemic symptoms. The course of the disease is usually one to two weeks. Temporary pigmentation spots will remain after the skin lesions subside, and they are prone to recurrence.

So how to treat papular urticaria caused by insect bites? Common treatments are as follows:

1. Traditional method: using traditional control treatment, generally using some hormones, antihistamines, and anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment, which can be effective quickly, but the condition will worsen after a period of time and is prone to recurrence, thus forming a vicious circle.

2. Internal therapy, such as some antihistamines, calcium supplements, vitamins, etc., can be selected under the guidance of a doctor.

Vitamin C or B12 is often used in combination with antihistamines to achieve better results.

3. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment of urticaria mainly focuses on dispelling wind and clearing heat. For example, you can choose Siwu Decoction or Wuling Powder decoction for treatment, which can achieve good results.

4. Topical therapy. When using topical therapy to treat urticaria, you should pay attention to choosing some lotions or creams with antipruritic or anti-inflammatory effects according to the severity of the skin lesions and apply them externally for treatment. If secondary infection occurs, you must control the infection first.

The above are the symptoms of urticaria after insect bites and some of its treatment methods. When we find the above rash symptoms in life, we must take effective methods to treat and control it in time to avoid worsening of the disease and causing greater harm to ourselves. At the same time, we must also pay attention to avoiding inducements in life to prevent recurrence of urticaria and cause trouble to our own life and work.
