Urticaria Treatment in Mysore

Urticaria, also known as hives, is a common skin condition that causes raised, itchy, and red welts. The welts can be as small as a few millimeters in diameter or as large as several centimeters across. They usually appear on the arms, legs, face, and trunk but can be found on any area of the body. An allergic reaction causes the welts. In some cases, the welts may be accompanied by facial, lips, tongue, and throat swelling. This is known as angioedema and can signify a more severe allergy. Treatment of urticaria depends on the severity and cause of the condition. Mild cases may only require antihistamines to reduce itching and swelling. More severe cases may require the use of corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive drugs. If the condition's cause is known, doctors may also recommend avoiding the allergen or irritant.

Pre-procedure

Pre-procedure for Urticaria involves steps before any medical or surgical procedure. 

  • First, the patient should be evaluated by a physician. The physician may also order blood work, imaging studies, or allergy testing.

  • Next, medications should be discontinued if necessary. This includes non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and anticoagulants. The patient should also inform their doctor about allergies or other medical conditions that may affect the procedure.

  • Before the procedure, the patient may be given preoperative medication to reduce the risk of an allergic reaction. This may include antihistamines, corticosteroids, or epinephrine.

  • Finally, the patient should know the procedure and the expected recovery time. They should also be given instructions on managing post-procedure reactions, such as itching or swelling. Visit Manipal Hospitals for Urticaria Treatment in Mysore.

 Procedure

To diagnose Urticaria, a doctor will usually start by taking a medical history and performing a physical examination. The doctor may ask about other symptoms, such as fever, chills, or difficulty breathing. The doctor may also order laboratory tests, such as a complete blood count, to look for signs of an allergic reaction. 

Once Urticaria is diagnosed, treatment typically begins with avoiding triggers and allergens. Antihistamines are often prescribed to reduce the symptoms of Urticaria, such as itching, swelling, and hives. Corticosteroids may also be prescribed to reduce inflammation. 

If an infection causes Urticaria, antibiotics may be prescribed. Immunosuppressive drugs may be prescribed for severe cases of Urticaria to reduce the body’s immune response and prevent further outbreaks.

Post-procedure

Post-procedure for Urticaria is a set of steps that should be followed after the treatment of urticaria (hives) has been completed. Consult with our experts to have more clarity on the treatment.

The first step in a post-procedure for urticaria is to monitor the skin for any signs of a return of the rash. It is important to look out for any new bumps, redness, or itching. If any of these symptoms appear, it is important to follow up with a doctor to determine the best course of action.

It is important to take measures to minimize the chances of a recurrence of urticaria. This can include avoiding known triggers of urticaria, such as certain foods or medications. It is also important to keep the skin well-hydrated and moisturized with a gentle lotion and to avoid excessive exposure to hot or cold temperatures.
