Urticaria Control Treatment

What is Urticaria?

Urticaria, also known as hives, is a skin condition characterized by red, raised, itchy welts or bumps on the skin. It occurs when the body releases histamines in response to triggers, which cause blood vessels to leak fluid and result in swelling and welts. These welts can vary in size and shape and typically appear suddenly.

Urticaria can be acute (lasting less than six weeks) or chronic (persisting for more than six weeks). Common triggers include allergic reactions, stress, certain foods, infections, and medications. In some cases, no clear cause can be identified.

How is Urticaria Treated?

Treatment for urticaria focuses on reducing symptoms, preventing flare-ups, and addressing any underlying triggers. At Skin Sattva, our dermatologists take a comprehensive approach to manage and control urticaria using the following methods:

• Antihistamines: The first line of treatment to relieve itching and reduce swelling.

• Corticosteroids: Short-term use for severe flare-ups to reduce inflammation.

• Immunosuppressive Medications: Used for chronic urticaria, particularly when antihistamines are ineffective.

• Avoiding Triggers: Identifying and avoiding environmental or dietary triggers to prevent flare-ups.

• Cold Compresses and Soothing Lotions: To relieve discomfort and cool the skin during flare-ups.

• Phototherapy: In some chronic cases, ultraviolet light therapy may be considered.
