Our Treatments

 

 

A prolonged rash could be the acute Urticaria, which calls for immediate treatment.

 

body? It could be an allergic reaction to a trigger in the environment and the appearance of the rash is called as hives but if this happens at every trivial trigger or an unseen factor on and off for more than six weeks it is called as Urticaria.


The human body has an innate mechanism to rise to the occasion by producing a defensive rounds of cells into the circulation when it sees the equilibrium of the body being affected and is called as immune response. This regulatory mechanism can sometimes be fooled into action when the cause is unimportant or by wrongly identifying a cause. This inflammatory response causes the peripheral blood vessels of the body being welled with protective cells and the fluid into the tissues causes the typical rash of Urticaria.


Causes


Whatever the body gets to appreciate through the gastrointestinal system like the foods i.e. seafood, Chinese sauces, nuts, eggs, berries, artificial flavours can set off a round of allergic reaction. So with the respiratory system too as the pollen, animal dander, odours, perfumes may cause such breakouts. Skin does not lag behind too as insect stings and bites, contact allergens like metals and chemicals in detergents, plant substances etc. evoke a similar virulent response.


Quite often in a few people exposure to cold in swimming pools or ones not used to chilly conditions this rash could occur.


A person travelling overnight by a train could find the pressure of the rexine upholstery or the tight fitting clothing being worn throughout the day causes an appearance of Urticaria.


Urticaria usually appears as a raised, whitish rash on the skin with a reddish halo which may be as tiny as prickly heat or the size of a coin or more too and may appear anywhere on the body. This rash appears suddenly and resolves suddenly too in either minutes or hours.


It is usually associated with itching, which in fact could later lead to appearance of the rash.
