How to treat urticaria with saxifrage

Many people have experienced urticaria in our lives. There are many reasons for urticaria, such as food allergies or tobacco and alcohol allergies, which can lead to the occurrence of urticaria. Urticaria always makes us feel particularly itchy, and sometimes even scratches the skin. Therefore, urticaria must be treated in time. Among them, Saxifrage is a very effective method for treating urticaria, and it has no side effects on the body. Let’s learn about the method of using Saxifrage to treat urticaria.

Clinical manifestations of chronic urticaria

1. The rash is composed of wheals and erythematous spots of varying sizes and shapes. They often occur suddenly in batches and then disappear quickly after a few hours, leaving no trace. But it can recur;

2. Conscious itching, which may be accompanied by abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, chest tightness, palpitations, and dyspnea. A few may also have fever, joint swelling, hypotension, shock, laryngeal edema and suffocation symptoms;

3. The duration of the disease varies. Acute urticaria lasts less than 1 month, while chronic urticaria lasts more than 1 month.

4. Skin scratch test showed positive reaction in some cases.

When you gently scratch the skin with your fingernail, a red scratch will appear and then disappear on its own in about a few minutes.

Precautions

1. Don’t scratch: Most people’s instinctive reaction to itchy skin is to scratch it with their hands. However, you may not know that this action not only fails to relieve the itching, but may make it worse. This is mainly because when you scratch the area, it increases the local temperature and causes the blood to release more histamine (allergens), which will make the condition worse.

2. Don’t use hot compresses: Some people use hot compresses to relieve itching. Although heat can temporarily relieve the local area, it is actually another kind of stimulation because heat will tense blood vessels and release more allergens.
