Urticaria affects around 15-25% of people at some point in their lives. The symptoms of the condition include itching followed by hives on any area of the body or the occurrence of bumps. It may be triggered by some food allergens, drug allergens, insect bites, bacterial/viral infection or any physical stimuli such as pressure, cold, heat, exercise or sun exposure.
Acute urticaria incidence is higher in people with atopy, and the condition mostly develops in children and young adults. Chronic urticaria occurs as episodic or daily hives lasting for at least six weeks, thus impairing the quality of life. According to World Allergy Organization, up to 1.8% of the population is currently suffering from chronic urticaria.
The main objective of the urticaria treatment is to control the severity of these lesions and reduce pain and itching. Urticaria is caused by the release of certain vasoactive substances such as bradykinin, histamine, prostaglandin D2, and leukotriene C4 from mast cells & basophils in the dermis which results in causing extravasation of plasma into the dermis, thus developing an urticarial lesion. The peak incidence of the disease occurs in the age of 20-40 years. The condition is extremely distressing and affects patient’s quality of life.
Urticaria treatment starts with the physical examination and observing medical history followed by various histopathological tests. It includes restricting the use of certain allergens as well as taking antihistamines and other medications which block the symptom producing substance release. A combination approach is usually adopted to lower down the disease symptoms but the best option for urticaria treatment is to remove the trigger with the consultation of a specialist.
