Is measles contagious?

Urticaria is a contagious disease and can be transmitted to other friends, so you should be careful when interacting with other people to avoid skin allergies. Urticaria is mainly caused by contact with allergens and pet hair in daily life. We should pay attention to contact with such allergens. Let us now understand the triggering factors of urticaria.

Acute urticaria is just a symptom of skin allergy, so it is not contagious and you don’t have to worry about being infected. Patients who develop urticaria must have accidentally come into contact with allergens. Sometimes when we eat seafood or other foods, we may experience allergic symptoms. Contact with pet hair, pollen, etc. may also trigger acute urticaria.

Although there are certain differences in the course of acute urticaria and chronic urticaria, the answer to the question of whether urticaria is contagious is the same: it is not contagious. However, when people have urticaria, large wheals may appear on the skin. These wheals come and go quickly, but you should not take it lightly. After disappearing, the wheals may appear in other parts of the body, so timely treatment is needed.

Also, after urticaria appears, the body will experience severe itching symptoms. Patients must resist scratching with their hands, because scratching will not only fail to relieve the itching symptoms, but will cause damage to their skin. Sometimes, blisters will appear in severe cases. In this case, you should avoid scratching and will break the blisters.

In fact, urticaria can be prevented. As long as we pay more attention to staying away from allergens, we can avoid the occurrence of allergies to a certain extent. Also, you must pay attention to your diet during urticaria, because some foods will aggravate the patient's condition. Avoid drinking excessively, eating spicy food, or eating seafood, beef, mutton, etc.
