Update to our allergist/'throw a medication at it' post:
We had a follow up today, increasing the allegra we take but if it doesn't work by next week; We've 'failed the treatment' and will be perscribed a monthly injection called Xolair.
Only issue is: Xolair has a tiny chance to cause.. anaphalatic shock.
So we were perscribed an epipen to bring with us to every injection if we start it.
+ in the notes of our appointment, there was mention that our "symptoms and timeline match up with that of chronic spontanous urticaria"; which ig is our unofficial diagnosis, despite our hives having known triggers (cold, skin pressure, stress)
Also! We were told it looks like we could be getting scarring from these hives, which would be.. fuckin lovely.
yall i'm so tired.

*Dr. Smita Goel Homeopathy Clinic*
Urticaria – also known as hives, weals, welts or nettle rash – is a raised, itchy rash that appears on the skin. It may appear on one part of the body or be spread across large areas.
The rash is usually very itchy and ranges in size from a few millimetres to the size of a hand.
Although the affected area may change in appearance within 24 hours, the rash usually settles within a few days.
Doctors may refer to urticaria as either:
• acute urticaria– if the rash clears completely within 6 weeks
• chronic urticaria –in rarer cases, where the rash persists or comes and goes for more than 6 weeks, often over many years
A much rarer type of urticaria, known as urticaria vasculitis, can cause blood vessels inside the skin to become inflamed. In these cases, the weals last longer than 24 hours, are more painful, and can leave a bruise.
When to seek medical advice
Visit your doctor/ General Practitioner (GP) if your symptoms don't go away within 48 hours.
You should also contact your doctor / GP if your symptoms are:
• severe
• causing distress
• disrupting daily activities
• occurring alongside other symptoms
Who's affected by urticaria?
Acute urticaria (also known as short-term urticaria) is a common condition, estimated to affect around 1in 5 people at some point in their lives.
Children are often affected by the condition, as well as women aged 30 to 60, and people with a history of allergies.
What causes urticaria?
Urticaria occurs when a trigger causes high levels of histamine and other chemical messengers to be released in the skin.These substances cause the blood vessels in the affected area of skin to open up (often resulting in redness or pinkness) and become leaky. This extra fluid in the tissues causes swelling and itchiness.
Histamine is released for many reasons, including:
• an allergic reaction – such as a food allergy or a reaction to an insect bite or sting
• cold or heat exposure
• infection – such as a cold
• certain medications – such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)or antibiotics
However, in many cases of urticaria, no obvious cause can be found.
Some cases of long-term urticaria may be caused by the immune system mistakenly attacking healthy tissue. However, this is difficult to diagnose and the treatment options are the same.
Certain triggers may also make the symptoms worse. These include:
• drinking alcohol or caffeine
• emotional stress
• warm temperature
Read more about the causes of urticaria.
Diagnosing urticaria
Your GP will usually be able to diagnose urticaria by examining the rash. They may also ask you questions to find out what triggered your symptoms.
If your GP thinks that it's caused by an allergic reaction, you may be referred to an allergy clinic for an allergy test. However, if you've had urticaria most days for more than 6 weeks, it's unlikely to be the result of an allergy.
You may also be referred for a number of tests, including a full blood count (FBC), to find out whether there's an underlying cause of your symptoms.
Read more about diagnosing urticaria.
Treating urticaria
In many cases, treatment isn't needed for urticaria, because the rash often gets better within a few days.
If the itchiness is causing you discomfort, antihistamines can help. Antihistamines are available over the counter at pharmacies – speak to your pharmacist for advice.
A short course of steroid tablets (oral corticosteroids) may occasionally be needed for more severe cases of urticaria.
If you have persistent urticaria, you may be referred to a skin specialist (dermatologist). Treatment usually involves medication to relieve the symptoms, while identifying and avoiding potential triggers.
Read about treating urticaria.
Complications of urticaria
Around a quarter of people with acute urticaria and half of people with chronic urticaria also develop angioedema, which is a deeper swelling of tissues.
Chronic urticaria can also be upsetting and negatively impact a person's mood and quality of life.
Angioedema
Angioedema is swelling in the deeper layers of a person's skin. It's often severe and is caused by a build-up of fluid. The symptoms of angioedema can affect any part of the body, but usually affect the:
• eyes
• lips
• genitals
• hands
• feet
Medication such as antihistamines and short courses of oral corticosteroids (tablets) can be used to relieve the swelling.
Read more about treating angioedema.
Emotional impact
Living with any long-term condition can be difficult. Chronic urticaria can have a considerable negative impact on a person's mood and quality of life. Living with itchy skin can be particularly upsetting.
One study found that chronic urticaria can have the same negative impact as heart disease. It also found that 1 in 7 people with chronic urticaria had some sort of psychological or emotional problem, such as:
• stress
• anxiety
• depression
See your GP if your urticaria is getting you down. Effective treatments are available to improve your symptoms.
Talking to friends and family can also improve feelings of isolation and help you cope better with your condition.
Anaphylaxis
Urticaria can be one of the first symptoms of a severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis.
Other symptoms of anaphylaxis include:
• swollen eyes, lips, hands and feet
• feeling lightheaded or faint
• narrowing of the airways, which can cause wheezing and breathing difficulties
• abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting
• collapsing and becoming unconscious

Understanding Allergic Skin Reactions and How to Treat Them
Allergic skin reactions are common and can affect individuals of all ages. They occur when the immune system overreacts to a substance that it deems harmful, leading to visible and often uncomfortable symptoms on the skin. From mild rashes to severe swelling, allergic skin reactions can vary greatly in severity. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and treatment options is essential for managing these reactions effectively.
Common Causes of Allergic Skin Reactions
Allergic skin reactions are typically triggered by an allergen—a substance the body mistakenly identifies as a threat. Some of the most common allergens include:
Pollen and dust mites: These environmental allergens are notorious for causing allergic rhinitis but can also lead to skin issues such as hives or eczema flare-ups.
Animal dander: Proteins found in the skin, saliva, or urine of pets can trigger allergic reactions in some individuals, leading to itching, redness, or rashes.
Food allergies: Certain foods, such as nuts, shellfish, or dairy, can cause allergic reactions, including skin symptoms like swelling, hives, or redness.
Medications: Some people may experience allergic reactions to medications, with skin rashes being a common side effect.
Contact allergens: These allergens include substances that come into direct contact with the skin, such as fragrances, detergents, metals (like nickel), and certain plants like poison ivy.
In some cases, allergic skin reactions occur due to a combination of factors, making it essential to identify the specific trigger to prevent future episodes.
Recognizing the Symptoms of Allergic Skin Reactions
Allergic skin reactions manifest in various ways depending on the severity of the allergy and the individual’s sensitivity. Some of the most common symptoms include:
Rashes are red, inflamed areas of skin that may itch or burn. They can appear immediately after contact with an allergen or develop over time.
Hives (urticaria): Raised, itchy welts that can vary in size and appear anywhere on the body. Hives often occur as a response to food or medication allergies.
Eczema (atopic dermatitis): Chronic, itchy patches of skin that can become dry, scaly, and inflamed. Environmental allergens or contact irritants often trigger eczema.
Swelling (angioedema): Swelling that occurs deeper in the skin, usually around the eyes, lips, or throat. This reaction can be more severe and may require immediate medical attention.
Blisters: In more serious reactions, fluid-filled blisters may form, particularly after contact with irritating plants like poison ivy or exposure to harsh chemicals.
Recognizing these symptoms early is crucial for taking appropriate action to alleviate discomfort and prevent the reaction from worsening.
Immediate Treatments for Allergic Skin Reactions
When an allergic skin reaction occurs, acting quickly reduces symptoms and prevents further irritation is essential. Several immediate treatments can help manage an allergic reaction:
Antihistamines: Over-the-counter antihistamines such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or loratadine (Claritin) can help relieve itching, swelling, and hives by blocking the body’s histamine response to allergens.
Topical corticosteroids: Hydrocortisone creams and ointments can be applied directly to the affected area to reduce inflammation and itching. These are commonly used for mild reactions such as rashes or contact dermatitis.
Cold compresses: Applying a cool, damp cloth to the irritated area can soothe the skin, reduce swelling, and relieve itching.
Moisturizers: For reactions involving dry or flaky skin, such as eczema, a thick, fragrance-free moisturizer can help hydrate the skin and prevent further irritation.
Avoiding the allergen: Removing or avoiding the allergen that triggered the reaction is key to preventing the symptoms from worsening. This may involve washing the affected area to remove any lingering irritants or switching to hypoallergenic products.
For more severe reactions, such as angioedema or widespread hives, medical attention may be necessary. Sometimes, a prescription corticosteroid or an epinephrine injection may be required.
Long-Term Management and Prevention
Preventing future allergic skin reactions involves understanding and avoiding the triggers that cause them. This may require some detective work, as the allergen might only sometimes be immediately obvious. Working with an allergist or dermatologist can help identify the specific allergen and develop a long-term plan for managing the condition.
Allergy testing: Skin or blood tests can help pinpoint the allergen responsible for triggering skin reactions. Once identified, avoiding exposure to the allergen becomes the primary prevention method.
Fragrance-free products: Many individuals with sensitive skin or a history of allergic reactions find relief by switching to fragrance-free and hypoallergenic personal care products, such as soaps, lotions, laundry detergents, and makeup.
Protective clothing: If the allergen is environmental (such as plants or chemicals), wearing protective clothing like gloves or long sleeves can reduce the chances of skin contact.
Keeping skin hydrated: Regularly applying moisturizers helps maintain the skin’s barrier function, making it less prone to irritation and allergic reactions. This is particularly important for individuals with eczema.
Reducing stress: Stress can exacerbate skin conditions like eczema or hives, so finding ways to manage stress, such as through exercise or relaxation techniques, can benefit long-term skin health.
Additionally, educating oneself on the ingredients and chemicals present in everyday products can help avoid unintentional exposure to allergens.
When to Seek Medical Attention
While most allergic skin reactions can be managed with over-the-counter treatments, there are times when medical attention is necessary. In severe or persistent reactions, it is essential to consult a healthcare professional. Signs that indicate the need for medical intervention include:
Difficulty breathing: If an allergic reaction causes throat swelling or difficulty breathing, it could indicate a life-threatening condition called anaphylaxis, which requires immediate medical attention.
Widespread or severe hives: Hives that cover a large portion of the body or cause significant discomfort may require prescription medication to control.
Chronic or recurring reactions: If allergic skin reactions are frequent or do not respond to over-the-counter treatments, a dermatologist or allergist can help develop a long-term management plan.
Signs of infection: If blisters or rashes become infected—characterized by redness, warmth, or pus—it is important to see a doctor for antibiotic treatment.
Prompt medical care ensures that complications from allergic skin reactions are minimized and effective treatments are provided.
Allergic skin reactions are a common yet manageable condition affecting individuals for various reasons. From identifying common triggers such as pollen, food, or contact allergens to recognizing symptoms like hives, rashes, and swelling, understanding the nature of allergic skin reactions is the first step in treating them. With immediate treatments such as antihistamines, topical corticosteroids, and long-term strategies like avoiding allergens and maintaining healthy skin, individuals can significantly reduce their discomfort and prevent future reactions. However, seeking medical advice is essential for safe and effective treatment in cases of severe or persistent symptoms.

Hives: How Long Do They Last & What Helps?
Tumblr media
Hives, also known as urticaria, are raised, itchy welts that appear on the skin. They're a common skin reaction that can affect people of all ages. While hives often go away on their own within a few hours to a day or two, sometimes they stick around longer, becoming a frustrating, even alarming, chronic issue. Let's take a closer look at hives how long does it last, the typical causes behind these pesky welts, and some simple ways to get relief. So, how long do hives usually last? In many cases, a hives outbreak may last anywhere from a few hours to a couple days before fading away. This short-lived reaction is known as acute hives. It's often triggered by things like certain foods, medications, insect stings or bites, pollen, pet dander, or infections. However, for some folks, hives can persist or keep coming back for six weeks or more. If you're breaking out in hives almost daily for over six weeks, you may have chronic hives. What Causes Hives? Hives pop up when your immune system releases a substance called histamine. This can happen for several reasons: - Acute Hives: These are often caused by a specific trigger: - Allergies: Common culprits include foods (like peanuts or shellfish), medications (like penicillin), or insect bites. - Infections: Viral infections (like the common cold), bacterial infections, and even parasites can sometimes cause hives. - Physical Irritation: Scratching, tight clothes, or exposure to harsh chemicals can lead to hives. - Chronic Hives: Lasting more than six weeks, these hives often have less obvious causes: - Underlying Conditions: Autoimmune disorders (like thyroid issues or lupus) can trigger chronic hives. - Unexplained Reactions: Sometimes, your immune system just gets a little overzealous, leading to hives with no known trigger. - Inducible Hives: Less common, these are triggered by specific physical stimuli: - Cold temperatures - Sunlight - Pressure on the skin - Exercise How Long Do Hives Last? - One Hive at a Time: Each hive tends to fade away within a few hours, usually less than 24 hours. - Acute Cases: Hive outbreaks usually clear up completely within 2-6 weeks, especially if you can identify and avoid the trigger (like a food you're allergic to). - Chronic Hives: If you're stuck with hives for over 6 weeks, they're considered chronic. Some unlucky folks can have chronic hives for months or even years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0P2bFVGReRE&pp=ygUbaGl2ZXMgaG93IGxvbmcgZG9lcyBpdCBsYXN0 Diagnosing Hives Medical History and Exam: To figure out what's causing your hives, your doc will ask about your symptoms, when they started, how long they last, and what seems to trigger them. They'll also check your skin closely and ask about your overall health. Possible Tests: If needed, your doctor may order some tests to rule out specific causes: - Allergy Testing: Skin prick or blood tests to identify potential triggers. - Blood Work: To check for infections or signs of underlying thyroid problems. Treating Hives & Finding Relief The best way to treat hives depends on what's causing them and how severe they are. - Identifying Triggers: Especially for acute hives, figuring out what sets them off is key. Keep a "hive diary" to track when they appear – it might surprise you! - Antihistamines: These are the go-to for reducing itch and swelling: - Over-the-counter options: Loratadine (Claritin), Cetirizine (Zyrtec) - Stronger ones by prescription: Ask your doctor! - Severe Cases: Sometimes, short-term oral steroids (like prednisone) are needed. Just remember, these have potential side effects. - Chronic Hives: If over-the-counter medications aren't enough, your doctor may recommend specialized medications or refer you to an allergist or dermatologist. Treatment TypeProsConsOver-the-Counter AntihistaminesEasy to access, generally safe, provide quick reliefMay not be effective for severe or chronic hives, some cause drowsinessPrescription MedicationsStronger options available, can target specific causes of chronic hivesMay have potential side effects, require doctor's supervisionNatural RemediesCool compresses, loose clothing can sootheLimited effectiveness, don't address the root cause of hives Living with Hives While you work towards a longer-term solution, here's what helps ease the itch: - Cool Relief: Cool compresses, baths (not too hot!), or calamine lotion. - Loose Clothing: Breathable fabrics can help prevent irritation. - Stress Less: Stress can worsen hives. Try relaxation techniques like deep breathing or yoga. - Emergency Care: If you have trouble breathing, throat swelling, or feel faint alongside your hives, get medical help immediately – this could be a sign of anaphylaxis. "Hives are incredibly common, but if they last for more than a few weeks, it's best to see a doctor. There are many effective treatment options available." Dr. Anne Davis, Board-Certified Dermatologist FAQs for Easy Answers - Are hives contagious? No! Hives themselves are not spread from person to person. However, if the hives are caused by a viral infection, that infection itself could be contagious. - Can I prevent hives? If you identify your triggers, you may be able to prevent acute hives by avoiding them. For chronic hives where the cause is unknown, prevention can be more difficult. - Will my hives go away on their own? Most of the time, yes. Individual hives fade quickly, and acute hives usually clear up in a few weeks. Chronic hives often need medical intervention to manage symptoms. - What's the difference between hives and eczema? While both can be itchy, hives are raised, red bumps that come and go quickly. Eczema usually causes dry, scaly patches that last longer. - Can stress cause hives? While stress doesn't directly cause hives, it can make existing hives worse or make you more prone to outbreaks. - I'm pregnant and have hives. What should I do? Talk to your doctor before taking any medication for hives. Some over-the-counter options may not be safe during pregnancy. Your doctor can guide you to safe choices for managing your symptoms. Key Takeaways - Hives are itchy, red bumps on the skin that usually go away on their own. - They can be caused by allergies, infections, physical triggers, or sometimes, unknown reasons. - Chronic hives last longer than six weeks and might need specialized treatment. Conclusion Hives might be annoying, but they're rarely a serious issue. If you're dealing with persistent or severe hives, don't hesitate to talk to your doctor. Together, you can find a treatment plan that works for you, so you can finally say goodbye to those itchy bumps!

Shortness of Breath: What your body might be telling you?
Did you experience any sudden shortness of breath? Well, it's time to be alert. An episode of shortness of breath should not be taken lightly. On a serious note, any episode of shortness of breath must be addressed in the right way.
Tumblr media
If you have ever experienced any shortness of breath, it is important to be aware of the causes, symptoms, treatment, solution, and prevention of shortness of breath. In this context, GS Hospital Hapur, the top heart care hospital in Ghaziabad, is well-known for its expertise in addressing serious symptoms related to shortness of breath. The hospital aims to spread awareness about shortness of breath among people which can cause many complications if left untreated.
Let us kick start this blog with a deep breath and learn more about shortness of breath in the next part of the article.
All you need to know about shortness of breath
Shortness of breath is considered as difficulty in breathing where enough oxygen does not reach into the lungs. This may result in gasping for breath. The breathing mechanism becomes very difficult and uncomfortable. Shortness of breath is medically termed as Dyspnea.
Shortness of breath occurs when the body is not getting enough oxygen requiring it harder to breathe more quickly and deeper. Not getting enough oxygen can cause many complications to other systems of the body affecting the overall health and well-being.
Types of breathlessness
There are two types of shortness of breath which include the following:
Acute breathlessness
An episode of breathlessness that has a sudden onset is considered acute breathlessness. This may be due to sudden changes in weather, extreme exertion, cardiac issues related to heart failure, or heart rhythm problems and respiratory problems making it difficult to breathe.
Chronic Persistent breathless
Persistent breathlessness is also known as chronic breathlessness. This is mainly prevalent in cases when the cardiac or respiratory condition is extreme and cannot be managed well leading to severe and recurrent episodes of breathlessness.
Causes of shortness of breath
The causes of shortness of breath may be medical or non-medical.
The causes of shortness of breath are as follows:
Medical causes of shortness of breath
Heart conditions such as angina, heart attacks, heart failure, abnormal heart rhythm, and atrial fibrillation.
Fluid buildup in the lungs like pleural effusion or pulmonary edema
Lung infections such as pneumonia, tuberculosis
Interstitial lung disease
Asthma or COPD
Lung cancer
Blood clots in the lungs
Low Hb count
Anxiety and panic attacks
Allergic reactions such as anaphylactic reaction or urticaria
Non-medical causes of shortness of breath
Physical exertion such as climbing stairs or shopping
Exercising such as gym, walking, or jogging
Being overweight or obese
Pollution or exposure to carbon monoxide
Living in a dusty environment
Inhalation of fumes and chemicals

Common Skin Issues in Winters: Skin Guide by A Skin Doctor
Some individuals eagerly wait for the cold weather and snowfall, but this can be a nightmare for individuals whose skin becomes delicate during the cold season. Yes, a decrease in temperature tends to trigger the skin, and many people face different skin concerns. But it is not weather which has to be blamed; lack of hydration, which is extremely common in winter, is one common factor behind such a type of skin. Not only does the skin become dry, but there are several other conditions which are common in the winter season due to dry skin. 
To discuss those conditions, we have created this informative post by taking crucial insights from Dr. Rasya Dixit, who is also considered the best skin doctor in Bangalore and is the founder of Dr. Dixit Cosmetic Dermatology Clinic. Through this guide, we will discuss the common skin issues experienced by individuals in winter. 
Below are Some Common Skin Conditions Experienced During Winters 
1. Eczema
Eczema such as atopic dermatitis, asteatotic eczema, etc., are increased when the skin becomes dry. It further leads to red and itchy marks, which affect both infants and elders. Regular use of moisturizers helps lower its symptoms, and even corticosteroid creams, if advised by a dermatologist, will work, too. 
2. Psoriasis
Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin condition where patients experience scaly red lesions on their skin and scalp. In winter, there is a high chance that the symptoms of psoriasis may increase due to dryness. Again, for this skin condition, moisturizers can work, which contain shea butter, paraffin, and glycerine. However, patients must seek proper consultation with a dermatologist as this skin condition requires oral medicines that can help alleviate the symptoms. 
3. Dry and Rough Lips
Lips have a very thin layer of skin and like other areas of the body, they can not be covered. In winter, the lips become extra dry and lead to splitting and exfoliating in the form of crusts. Individuals mostly lick their lips to make them wet, or they might peel them off, which worsens the condition. Applying lip balms such as glycerine, petroleum jelly, silicone, and aloe vera can help in such a case.
4. Cold Urticaria
Urticaria or hives is an allergic skin reaction towards some external antigens where people get red and itchy and itchy welts on the skin. One of the many factors that can cause an urticarial reaction in the body is cold temperature, which might result in "cold urticaria." Antihistaminic drugs and avoiding cold exposure are effective treatments for this.
5. Acne
Acne is a common skin condition which is prevalent in all seasons. In winter, a lot of individuals experience acne breakouts, too. Dry skin is a trigger of acne which has excessive oil production. Many individuals experience acne in areas such as the face, back, arms, chest, etc, in winter. Also, individuals who shower less during the cold season are prone to acne. 
Final Takeaway 
To sum it up, we have discussed the common skin conditions which most individuals experience during the winter. If one is looking for a leading dermatologist in Bangalore who can treat not only the above skin concerns but other skin issues, too, they can consult Dr. Rasya Dixit at Dr. Dixit Cosmetic Dermatology Clinic. 
The expert skin doctor offers a range of dermatological treatments at the clinic, such as laser toning, vampire facelift, dermal fillers, mole removal, skin whitening treatments, hydra facials and many more at her clinic. 
For more details on these advanced procedures, one can visit Dr. Dixit Cosmetic Dermatology Clinic.

Common skin hazards and crisis response? With the advent of autumn, the skin's moisturizing ability is reduced, and the most obvious feature is dryness! The skin's barrier against the environment also becomes weaker. A. Frequent skin sensitivity Sensitive skin is more fragile, it is easy to be stimulated by physical, chemical, mental and other factors and produce a series of overreactions, including itching, burning, stinging, and even peeling, redness, rash. Now, hot and cold temperatures, dry weather, and annoying autumn winds can easily tease sensitive muscles Ps: Skin sensitivity ≠ allergy. Skin sensitivity is a sub-health condition of the skin, which is greatly affected by external factors. Allergies are the result of the body's over-immunity to allergens, and their induction is not directly related to seasonal changes (unless it is the season that brings the allergen). Avoiding contact with allergens as much as possible can greatly reduce the occurrence of allergic reactions. B. Dry skin The special weather characteristics of autumn will reduce the skin's ability to retain moisture. Many friends will find that the skin on the body becomes dry, rough, and small dander appears, especially in the joints. There are even scaly chaps, accompanied by itching and rashes. In severe cases, the possibility of dry eczema should be considered, and short-term drug treatment with glucocorticoid ointment can be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. C. Scalp desquamation and hair loss Desquamation hair loss is also a common problem since autumn. As the temperature changes, the temperature of the scalp decreases, and its microvascular network (responsible for transporting nutrients to the hair roots) becomes inactive, so the hair is prone to abnormal nutrient metabolism and fall out. In addition, reduced sebaceous gland secretion may also make the scalp dry and easy to desquamate, thus aggravating the phenomenon of hair loss. However, seasonal hair loss also belongs to a physiological hair loss, is a normal phenomenon, we do not have to worry too much, under normal circumstances with seasonal changes will slowly improve. However, if hair loss and scalp desquamation continue to not improve, it is necessary to consider whether there are pathological problems, and it is recommended to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. D. Hidden danger of skin disease Changing seasons may also induce/aggravate some primary skin diseases such as urticaria, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, rosacea, etc… Therefore, in the near future, we should pay more attention to their own skin hazards and take appropriate protective measures. If there is anything wrong, seek medical attention immediately! How can I relieve dryness?
It's important to choose the right ingredients Whether you choose a cream or body lotion, look at the ingredients first, which will be more friendly for dry skin and have a role in skin repair. Ceramide \ Oils: Jojoba oil, shea butter, Petroleum jelly, horse oil, Squalane shark, B5 panthenol, glycerin If the skin problem is some complex, it is difficult to judge, such as: unexplained big red face, rosacea, color spots, red blood, solar dermatitis, eczema, contact dermatitis and even wrinkles, etc., it is recommended to ask a professional dermatologist to clarify what your skin really needs, and then choose.
Don't blindly pursue cleanliness People who know a little about skin care know that products with strong cleaning power will be relatively irritating, and the strong cleaning power will take away the oil on the skin but also destroy the cuticle. Normal, healthy skin is protected by an oil film, which is not dry and tight, but has a slightly lubricated feeling.
Use exfoliators sparingly Autumn and winter itself skin water shortage, and frequent use of exfoliating products such as scrubs, resulting in skin barrier damage is too likely. For the face, dry skin can be exfoliated in the T-zone for 1-2 weeks; The body scrub can be used in the chest and back where there is more oil, and for the arms with less oil and dry skin, the neck can be used less. Tips for using exfoliators
For the face, dry skin can be exfoliated in the T-zone.
The body scrub can be used in the chest and back where there is more oil, and the neck can be used less for the arms with less oil and dry skin.
Choose a non-granular, low-concentration exfoliant with little irritation.
Frequency of use: 1-2 weeks can be used once, the dry skin originally has a thin stratum corneum, high frequency of use will destroy the stratum corneum, causing skin problems.
Don't overheat the water The water temperature should not exceed 40℃. By touching the water on the skin of your hands, you get a rough estimate of the temperature. It's usually slightly warmer than the skin on our hands, and it feels warm. Too high water temperature will dissolve the oil on the skin surface, and the water retention function of the skin will be reduced after the oil is reduced, which is the main reason for dry skin.   In addition, pay attention not only to the skin of the face, but also to the skin of all parts of the body, including the scalp, lips, limbs, fingers/toes, etc. In particular, the parts of the sebaceous glands that are not developed and often worn should be specially strengthened care. For example, many people often ignore the care around their nails, and wait until they feel the pain of barb tearing before they think of fixing it. Please have body lotion, hand cream, lip balm, etc. The last thing is good sun protection Basically everyone has the concept of sun protection, but most people only know that "black", and even only when the sun is out. In fact, our sun protection is mainly to prevent ultraviolet light, ultraviolet light is present all year round. Ultraviolet light causes black skin, but one of the damage, more serious is that ultraviolet light will accelerate the aging of the skin, aggravate pores, spots and other melanin accumulation. In short, if you do not have sun protection, after 5 years, you may be the darkest and oldest one of your peers! Isn't that scary? Wish everyone can have healthy elastic skin so that the skin away from the "troubled autumn". Keep in good shape, exquisite to the end!

Urticaria – also known as hives, weals, welts or nettle rash – is a raised, itchy rash that appears on the skin. It may appear on one part of the body or be spread across large areas.
The rash is usually very itchy and ranges in size from a few millimetres to the size of a hand.
Although the affected area may change in appearance within 24 hours, the rash usually settles within a few days.
Doctors may refer to urticaria as either:
• acute urticaria– if the rash clears completely within 6 weeks
• chronic urticaria –in rarer cases, where the rash persists or comes and goes for more than 6 weeks, often over many years
A much rarer type of urticaria, known as urticaria vasculitis, can cause blood vessels inside the skin to become inflamed. In these cases, the weals last longer than 24 hours, are more painful, and can leave a bruise.
When to seek medical advice
Visit your doctor/ General Practitioner (GP) if your symptoms don't go away within 48 hours.
You should also contact your doctor / GP if your symptoms are:
• severe
• causing distress
• disrupting daily activities
• occurring alongside other symptoms
Who's affected by urticaria?
Acute urticaria (also known as short-term urticaria) is a common condition, estimated to affect around 1in 5 people at some point in their lives.
Children are often affected by the condition, as well as women aged 30 to 60, and people with a history of allergies.
What causes urticaria?
Urticaria occurs when a trigger causes high levels of histamine and other chemical messengers to be released in the skin.These substances cause the blood vessels in the affected area of skin to open up (often resulting in redness or pinkness) and become leaky. This extra fluid in the tissues causes swelling and itchiness.
Histamine is released for many reasons, including:
• an allergic reaction – such as a food allergy or a reaction to an insect bite or sting
• cold or heat exposure
• infection – such as a cold
• certain medications – such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)or antibiotics
However, in many cases of urticaria, no obvious cause can be found.
Some cases of long-term urticaria may be caused by the immune system mistakenly attacking healthy tissue. However, this is difficult to diagnose and the treatment options are the same.
Certain triggers may also make the symptoms worse. These include:
• drinking alcohol or caffeine
• emotional stress
• warm temperature
Read more about the causes of urticaria.
Diagnosing urticaria
Your GP will usually be able to diagnose urticaria by examining the rash. They may also ask you questions to find out what triggered your symptoms.
If your GP thinks that it's caused by an allergic reaction, you may be referred to an allergy clinic for an allergy test. However, if you've had urticaria most days for more than 6 weeks, it's unlikely to be the result of an allergy.
You may also be referred for a number of tests, including a full blood count (FBC), to find out whether there's an underlying cause of your symptoms.
Read more about diagnosing urticaria.
Treating urticaria
In many cases, treatment isn't needed for urticaria, because the rash often gets better within a few days.
If the itchiness is causing you discomfort, antihistamines can help. Antihistamines are available over the counter at pharmacies – speak to your pharmacist for advice.
A short course of steroid tablets (oral corticosteroids) may occasionally be needed for more severe cases of urticaria.
If you have persistent urticaria, you may be referred to a skin specialist (dermatologist). Treatment usually involves medication to relieve the symptoms, while identifying and avoiding potential triggers.
Read about treating urticaria.
Complications of urticaria
Around a quarter of people with acute urticaria and half of people with chronic urticaria also develop angioedema, which is a deeper swelling of tissues.
Chronic urticaria can also be upsetting and negatively impact a person's mood and quality of life.
Angioedema
Angioedema is swelling in the deeper layers of a person's skin. It's often severe and is caused by a build-up of fluid. The symptoms of angioedema can affect any part of the body, but usually affect the:
• eyes
• lips
• genitals
• hands
• feet
Medication such as antihistamines and short courses of oral corticosteroids (tablets) can be used to relieve the swelling.
Read more about treating angioedema.
Emotional impact
Living with any long-term condition can be difficult. Chronic urticaria can have a considerable negative impact on a person's mood and quality of life. Living with itchy skin can be particularly upsetting.
One study found that chronic urticaria can have the same negative impact as heart disease. It also found that 1 in 7 people with chronic urticaria had some sort of psychological or emotional problem, such as:
• stress
• anxiety
• depression
See your GP if your urticaria is getting you down. Effective treatments are available to improve your symptoms.
Talking to friends and family can also improve feelings of isolation and help you cope better with your condition.
Anaphylaxis
Urticaria can be one of the first symptoms of a severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis.
Other symptoms of anaphylaxis include:
• swollen eyes, lips, hands and feet
• feeling lightheaded or faint
• narrowing of the airways, which can cause wheezing and breathing difficulties
• abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting
• collapsing and becoming unconscious
