Urticaria, commonly known as rubella mass, is a limited edema reaction that occurs due to the expansion and permeability of small blood vessels in the skin and mucous membranes. Urticaria is an allergic skin disease, usually manifested as itchy wind masses, which usually appear in batches. It fades in an hour or two, leaving no traces after it fades. Urticaria patients are usually allergic to certain foods, pollen, etc. After the urticaria appears, the patient will experience itching unbearably. Sometimes after seeing a large red patch on the patient's body, many people feel grieved for fear of being infected. But, is urticaria contagious?
1. What are the hazards of urticaria?
1, affect life and work: urticaria patients usually show itching unbearable, which will affect people's daily life to a certain extent. In particular, chronic urticaria, which persists and does not heal, seriously affects the normal life of patients. If things go on like this, it may cause psychological problems.
2, life-threatening: Many people think that urticaria is just a small allergic disease, and they disagree. However, if urticaria occurs in places such as the larynx and bronchi, it may cause edema and even difficulty breathing. Severe breathing difficulties can cause suffocation and endanger life.
3, cause other complications: urticaria, if not treated in time, may induce other complications, the most common cause of digestive diseases, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, gastrointestinal disorders and other symptoms. This is mainly caused by the dysfunction of the immune system. In addition, it may also induce other visceral diseases and autoimmune diseases.
2. Is urticaria contagious?
Urticaria is not contagious, because urticaria is inflammatory congestion of skin mucous membranes, blood vessels and edema in tissues caused by various factors. Although sometimes patients may have fever, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms, these symptoms are the patient's own infection, or complications caused by allergies, and will not be transmitted to others. So don’t worry. However, patients with urticaria must be treated in time to avoid serious consequences.
3. People with urticaria, what are the dietary taboos?
1. Avoid foods that may cause hives, such as seafood, mango, milk, pineapple, etc. These foods are common allergens. People who are allergic to these foods must not be greedy in their daily lives.
2. In the acute stage of urticaria, care should be taken to avoid eating foods that have cross components with allergic foods. For example, patients who are allergic to cheese may also be allergic to soy sauce and vinegar.
3. When urticaria occurs, you should also pay attention to abstinence. Coffee and other irritating drinks should also be avoided as much as possible. Do not eat raw, cold, or spoiled food. Also, the diet should be light and drink plenty of water.
