What is the treatment for acute urticaria

Skin diseases can cause great harm to people, and many people may be harassed by this disease because it not only affects their health, but also makes them ridiculed. Acute urticaria is a relatively common skin disease. When people are treating it, they need to understand the treatment methods for acute urticaria.

1. Erythema and edema appear on the skin, and dense millet-sized papules and papulovesicles appear on this basis. After the blisters burst, erosion, exudation, scabs, desquamation, etc. appear, and the patient feels itchy. Scratching can cause erosion, pustules, bleeding, lichenification, etc. In addition, it can spread from the primary site to the surrounding area and spread throughout the body, forming erythroderma.

2. 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. Wheals may merge into large lesions or form map-like lesions.

3. Conscious itching may be accompanied by abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, chest tightness, palpitations, and difficulty breathing. A few may have fever, swollen joints, hypotension, shock, laryngeal edema and suffocation symptoms.

4. Acute patients often present with red swollen patches, and some acute skin lesions may have blisters and bullae, which is called bullous urticaria. Purple spots may occur in the center of some areas, which is called purpuric urticaria. The mucous membrane may also be affected, causing swelling of the lips or the pharyngeal isthmus, resulting in laryngeal edema, which can cause difficulty breathing or even suffocation. The skin lesions often disappear within a few hours, but new lesions continue to occur one after another. Severe large hemorrhagic skin lesions may also disappear within a few days.

5. The whole body may have a fever, generally below 39°C. If it is above 39°C, you should pay attention to whether the patient has acute suppurative infection or sepsis. Respiratory symptoms may include asthma and difficulty breathing. There may be abdominal pain or stomach distension and pain in the intestines. Some may also have diarrhea. Patients with severe systemic wheal may also experience symptoms such as low blood pressure, dizziness, chest tightness, and in rare cases, shock may occur. Treatment should be given promptly. Most patients only have wheal itching symptoms and no other symptoms.
