The key to the rapid resolution of urticaria lies in timely symptom relief and avoiding irritation, which can be gradually improved through the following methods:
1. **Cold compress for calming**
Wrap an ice pack in a towel and apply it to the red and itchy area for no more than 10 minutes at a time. The low temperature can constrict blood vessels and reduce the burning sensation and swelling.
2. **Avoid scratching and rubbing.**
Wear loose-fitting cotton clothing, trim your nails, and gently pat instead of scratching to prevent skin damage and infection.
3. **Investigate the underlying causes**
Recall any food, medication, pollen, or chemicals you came into contact with before the attack, temporarily stay away from potentially allergenic substances, and keep the environment well-ventilated and clean.
4. **Use medication as appropriate.**
Under the guidance of a doctor or pharmacist, calamine lotion can be used topically for a short period to relieve itching, or oral antihistamines can be taken to relieve acute symptoms, but attention should be paid to the applicable population and side effects.
If the rash continues to spread, is accompanied by difficulty breathing or facial swelling, please seek medical attention immediately. Keeping a daily record of your flare-ups and reducing late nights and stress can help lower the likelihood of recurrence.
