Viral urticaria is a type of urticaria, which is mainly caused by the consumption of "irritating foods" such as seafood, leeks, etc., as well as the influence of cold wind. It causes red bumps to appear on the patient's body or in parts of the body. After subsiding, it is easy to recur, affecting the patient's mood. If the medication is used indiscriminately, it may cause swelling. The following is an introduction to the clinical symptoms of viral urticaria to help patients and friends judge the condition!

Viral urticaria is easy to diagnose because it is more common in infants, young children and adolescents in spring, summer and autumn. It is characterized by repeated appearance of batches of green bean-sized light red spindle-shaped wheal-like papules with small blisters on the top, which leave pigmented spots after fading. It is more common on the trunk and limbs, and the patient feels itchy.

The typical skin lesions of viral urticaria are mung bean-sized or slightly larger light red papules, which are hard in nature and often have small blisters on the top. They form scabs after scratching and are surrounded by spindle-shaped red halos. Wheals appear after scratching, and return to their original shape after the wheals subside.

Viral urticaria is common on the trunk and proximal limbs. The number of lesions is variable and often appears in batches, scattered or in a few clusters. It is often accompanied by gastrointestinal disorders, and a few patients sometimes also present with blisters. The course of the disease varies in length. It usually disappears on its own in about a week, leaving temporary pigmentation, but new rashes may appear one after another, so new and old skin lesions exist at the same time. It gradually heals when the weather turns cooler, but often occurs again the following year.

The early stages of viral urticaria develop slowly and often affect the limbs or trunk. The course of the disease varies. Typical skin lesions are shaped like mung beans, often with small blisters on the top. Papular urticaria is divided into wind-heat type and food stagnation type.
