Hives: Symptoms, Causes and How to Overcome It
Hives, or in medical terms called urticaria, are reddish rashes that appear on the skin. Even though biduran is often associated with allergic reactions, this condition can also be triggered by a number of other things, such as stress,
Hives are one of the most common skin health problems. It is estimated that around 20% of adults have experienced biduran, and 15% of them have experienced biduran since childhood.
Symptoms of Hives
Hives on the skin are seen as spots, rashes, and bumps that are felt itchy. These spots can appear anywhere on the body. Usually the symptoms of biduran appear suddenly, then fade on their own in about 24 hours, and do not require special treatment.
However, people with biduran should ask for medical help if they experience any of the following symptoms:
- Dizziness
- Swelling in the eye area or mouth
- Shortness of breath
- Lemas
These symptoms indicate a severe allergic reaction and require immediate treatment. However, if you feel mild itching, you can help reduce the symptoms of biduran with some home care.
Handling of Hives that Can Be Done at Home
If the biduran is not accompanied by other symptoms and the itching is not severe, you can relieve it with the following treatments:
1. Stay away from biduran trigger factors
The most important preventive and treatment steps in biduran are knowing the trigger factors, and as much as possible avoid contact with these factors.
For example, if biduran appears after eating certain foods, so avoid eating these foods. Or if biduran appears when stressed, then relax to reduce stress.
2. Use cold compresses
Sticking something cold to your skin can help relieve irritation and relieve itching. You can use a piece of ice coated with a towel and attach it to the itchy area for 10-15 minutes. Repeat 4 times a day.
3. Bathe with anti-itch solution
There are several products that you can add to the bathtub to help relieve itching. One of them is oatmeal (specifically marketed as a product of colloidal oatmeal for bathing) or one handful of baking soda.
Avoid skin care products that can cause irritation. Some types of soap, especially those containing fragrances, can make skin dry and increase itching. Make sure you use special soap for sensitive skin. Also use special lotion products for sensitive skin, and apply immediately after a shower to help relieve itching.
4. Keep the atmosphere cool
The hot temperature can make the itching worse. Wear clothes that are thin and loose, and made comfortable and can absorb sweat. Keep the air temperature in the room to keep cool and comfortable.
Avoid sitting in direct sunlight or taking a hot shower, to prevent biduran recurrence.
5. Eating or applying medicine
If other methods are not effective in relieving itching due to hives, you can try using over-the-counter antigatal drugs, such as antihistamine drugs and calamine lotion.
For very broad and frequent recurrent hives, prescription drugs may be needed, such as corticosteroids and immune system suppressants.
Hives prevention measures
Knowing and avoiding what triggers itching on the skin is the key to preventing recurrence of biduran. Some things that can trigger biduran are contact with animals, use of perfume, hot or cold temperatures, or exposure to certain chemicals.
In many cases, biduran is caused by food. One way that can be done to prevent it is to make a food diary. This note can help you remember what foods might cause hives. Some drugs can also cause hives, so it is important to note what medications and supplements you use on a daily basis.
