If urticaria recurs frequently over a long period, it can indeed have some impact on physical health and daily life. It is recommended to seek medical evaluation in a timely manner and alleviate discomfort through proper management.
Specific potential impacts include:
1. Damaged skin health: Persistent itching may lead to repeated scratching, increasing the risk of skin damage and infection, and may also leave temporary pigmentation.
2. Decreased quality of life: Chronic itching and rashes may interfere with nighttime sleep, affect daytime work or study, and cause psychological stress.
3. Persistent underlying triggers: Long-term attacks sometimes indicate that the allergen has not been completely avoided, or that there are other health factors that need attention.
To better control the situation, we suggest you:
Record information about your diet and environment during an attack to help identify potential triggers; use medication regularly as directed by your doctor and do not stop taking it on your own; avoid washing with hot water, vigorous scratching of the skin, and wear loose cotton clothing to reduce irritation. If the rash suddenly worsens or is accompanied by chest tightness or difficulty breathing, seek medical attention immediately.
