Does blistering in papular urticaria mean it is getting better?
Papular urticaria blistering is not a sign of quick recovery, but rather a peak in the condition. Papular urticaria, as we discuss it, primarily refers to a skin allergic inflammatory reaction caused by insect bites. The areas with more severe inflammation, which are typically at the very center of the rash, may develop blisters. The occurrence of blistering marks a peak period in the course of the disease, not a sign of improvement. As the blisters dry up and crust over, the rash begins to resolve, and the intensity of itching also decreases. The blistering in papular urticaria does not indicate that the disease is quickly subsiding; rather, it is a manifestation of a peak in the disease. After the blisters have dried up, itching gradually lessens, which is the actual sign that the condition is about to improve.
What are the symptoms of genital herpes?
Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease caused by herpes simplex virus infection, mainly by type 2 genital herpes virus. It commonly occurs in the genital area or the perineum. The skin lesions primarily appear as initial red papules, which rapidly develop into isolated or clustered vesicles, accompanied by secondary infections that can lead to pustules, erosions, crusts, and even ulcers. Clinically, the symptoms include varying degrees of itchiness or burning sensation. A minority of individuals may also experience swelling and tenderness of local lymph nodes, along with low fever, headache, or general symptoms.
