Papular urticaria is a type of allergic reaction, associated with contact with irritants or bites from mosquitoes, fleas, and other insects. Therefore, papular urticaria is not affected by wind, and wind exposure does not worsen the condition or make it contagious. This disease is different from common measles or viral infectious diseases. It can be completely cured with antiallergic medication, but it does have a tendency to recur. After clinical recovery, it is important to regulate one's diet and lifestyle, avoid staying up late, minimize anxiety and stress, abstain from spicy and irritating foods, avoid keeping small animals at home, stay away from areas with abundant plants, and ensure regular sun exposure and disinfection of bed linens and covers.

Does papular urticaria spread?

Papular urticaria is a type of allergic disease, mostly related to exposure to irritants, or bites from mosquitoes and fleas. This disease is not contagious, and it cannot be transmitted through contact with others. Once the disease is discovered, it must be treated with proper anti-allergy medications. Additionally, it's important to frequently sun-dry and disinfect personal items such as bed sheets, duvet covers, and clothes. Avoid keeping small animals at home and try to stay away from areas with lots of plants and trees. Some cases of papular urticaria may develop small blisters. These blisters should not be punctured as breaking them can lead to infections and potentially more severe symptoms. Generally, with proper treatment, the symptoms can gradually subside, usually within about a week.

Papular urticaria causes and symptoms

Papular urticaria is a type of allergic reaction, which is specifically related to exposure to irritants, or bites from mosquitoes and fleas. The cause of this disease is relatively clear. Generally, the main symptom is the appearance of red wheals on the body with clear boundaries. At the center of the wheal, there may be a puncture point or small blisters. The primary symptom is itchiness, which is often severe. Repeated scratching of the small blisters can lead to rupture and infection. Therefore, it is important to treat this disease as soon as it is discovered, using oral and topical anti-allergy medications, which generally subside within about a week. It is also advisable to avoid keeping small animals at home and to frequently disinfect bedding by exposing it to sunlight. (Medicine should be used under the guidance of a doctor, based on specific circumstances.)

The cause of papular urticaria

Papular urticaria, also known as insect bite dermatitis, is commonly seen in children and individuals with lower resistance and sensitive skin. It is caused by bites from insects such as mosquitoes and mites. The resulting skin reaction varies from person to person and is characterized by red patches and blisters. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, it can be categorized into damp-heat type and wind-heat type. The wind-heat type usually occurs on the limbs, while the damp-heat type is more common around the waist and features larger and more numerous blisters. This condition is related to insect bites, commonly from mosquitoes, lice, fleas, mites, bedbugs, etc. After being bitten, the saliva injected into the skin may trigger an allergic reaction in the body.

Can people with papular urticaria eat fish?

Papular urticaria is a type of allergic reaction, related to direct contact with irritants or bites from mosquitoes and fleas. During treatment for this condition, it is generally advised to avoid eating spicy foods, fish, and shrimp, as these can aggravate allergic diseases by inducing inflammation or worsening itching. Severe scratching may also lead to the formation of small blisters, which, if burst, could potentially cause bacterial infection. Therefore, this disease must be treated formally. It is advisable to avoid spicy and irritating foods, refrain from staying up late, and avoid places with a high presence of mosquitoes and fleas. Pets should not be kept in the home; if pets are present, it is crucial to maintain their hygiene and regularly disinfect and expose bedding and covers to sunlight.

Can urticaria papulosa be washed with sulfur soap?

Papular urticaria is an allergic reaction caused by insect bites, which can cause severe itching. Sulfur soap, which acts as an antibacterial, antifungal, and degreasing agent, is not effective in relieving itchiness from papular urticaria, and therefore its use is not recommended. Enhancing skin cleanliness and providing symptomatic anti-allergy and itch-relieving measures are advised. Oral medications such as ebastine tablets, Jinchanchu Itching Granules, and prednisone acetate tablets can be taken. For the skin areas affected by insect bites, topical applications like fluticasone propionate cream or compound clobetasol propionate cream can be used, and the general course of treatment should be controlled within one week. (The use of medications should be under the guidance of a physician.)
