Hives: How Do I Deal With It? by Vie(f): 12:12am On Apr 01, 2007 |
I have a chronic allergic condition known as HIVES, have been trying without any effect to narrow down the cause of its sudden outbreaks but to no avail, living in Nigeria its almost impossible to streamline the reactants. So i need help on any way to remove the old scares before a new outbreak cos it leaves black patches especially since it recently started extending to my face. Opinions and suggestions will be appreciated. |

Hey girl, I feel for you o! I'll advise you to find out what triggers off your reaction and keep away from it. Also antihistamines like piriton might help ease the effects. All the best! |

Medical professionals refer to hives as urticaria HIVES is the Itchy, swollen, red bumps or patches on the skin that appear suddenly as a result of the body’s adverse reaction to certain allergens. They can appear anywhere on the body including the face, lips, tongue, throat or ears. Hives vary in size and can last for minutes or days. Causes of Hives Ingestion or Inhalation When the source of hives can be determined, most cases are caused by ingestion of a substance. Drugs can suddenly cause hives even if the person has been taking them for years. Many foods or food additives can also cause hives suddenly, even in small amounts. I am including inhaled allergens under ingestion because these are foreign substances that are taken into the body. Some of the more common triggers are the following: Infections such as viral illnesses, especially in children Allergies to food, medications, cosmetics, soaps, and detergents Insect stings and bites Transfusions of blood or blood products Emotional and physical stress Physical agents such as sunlight, heat, cold, water, or pressure If I may Ask Vie is there any one in your family that experiences same, this may be one of the risk factor. Treatment of Hives Treatment may not be needed if hives are mild -- they will go away on their own. Antihistamines may reduce inflammation, itching, and swelling. Try as much as possible to avoid direct sunlight Prevent undue delayed pressure: reaction to standing for long periods, bra-straps and belts Watch the kind of Cream and soap you use (cosmetics). Watchout for chronic cold: ice, cold air and water Use Antibacterial and antiseptic such as dettol in your bath water Avoid common allergns such as: Drugs Penicillin Aspirin Sulfa antibiotics Morphine Codeine Polymyxin Dextran Curare Quinine Diuretics Foods Fish Shellfish Nuts Eggs Chocolate Strawberries Tomatoes Pork Cow's milk Cheese Wheat Yeast Citrus fruits Food Additives Salicylates Tartrazine (a dye) Benzoate Penicillin Sulfites Inhaled Allergens Pollen Mold Spores Animal dander House dust I hope my epistle will help you - Anyway am waiting for my consultancy fee |
