Is chronic urticaria contagious?

Chronic urticaria is the most common stubborn skin disease, which always troubles people. Chronic urticaria, commonly known as wheals and wind bumps, is an allergic skin disease. Autumn and winter are the peak seasons for chronic urticaria, so we must always be prepared to defend against the invasion of chronic urticaria. Chronic urticaria is not only itchy but also stubborn, which brings a lot of harm to patients' lives.

Is chronic urticaria contagious? Will it be transmitted to friends and relatives around you and cause them unnecessary trouble? In fact, chronic urticaria does not have all the characteristics of infectious diseases, so it is not contagious. Why chronic urticaria is not contagious? Let's take a look at the detailed introduction below.

Chronic urticaria skin diseases are not contagious. Are chronic urticaria-like skin diseases related to diet? It is true that some urticaria is caused by eating certain foods or drinking alcohol, but chronic urticaria-like skin diseases have no absolute relationship with food. It’s just that some people will have their rashes become more severe after eating certain foods (such as: seafood, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, wine, mangoes, strawberries...). Therefore, during the period of drug control of urticaria, if you find that those foods will aggravate the urticaria attack, you should try to avoid these foods.

Many people think that chronic urticaria-like skin diseases are incurable. In fact, this type of skin disease requires long-term medication to change the physical constitution before it can be cured. Usually, the longer the onset of the disease, the longer the medication time. If you can cooperate with your doctor, take the medicine patiently and reduce the dosage regularly, you will usually recover within a few months (stubborn cases may take 1 to 2 years).

Chronic urticaria is not scary. As long as you actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and maintain an optimistic attitude, you will definitely get better. However, the most important thing is to exercise regularly, eat more vegetables and fruits, and drink more water, so as not to let the disease take away your health. In order to better enjoy life, let us take action.
